Bone mineral density and serum levels of markers of bone resorption or formation in pre- and post-menopausal subjects. (a) Among pre- and post-menopausal groups selected in Fig. 1, bone mineral density was analyzed as a T-score using an AOS-100 system in indicated subjects. (b) Serum levels of TRACP5b and NTX, both bone resorption markers, and the bone formation markers osteocalcin and ucOC were also analyzed in indicated subjects. Data represent mean T-score or serum levels of TRACP5b, NTX, osteocalcin or ucOC ± SD (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; NS, not significant).
