Fig. 1From: Osteoporosis of the vertebra and osteochondral remodeling of the endplate causes intervertebral disc degeneration in ovariectomized miceGross macrographs and body and uterus weight changes of mice after ovariectomy. a There is a remarkable accumulation of fat in the abdominal cavity (black open arrow) and the body weight increase significantly over time in ovariectomized (OVX) mice. b The uterus is visibly atrophied in the OVX group and is significant lighter in weight compared with the control (ct) group. Data are shown as mean ± SD; n = 15 per group. a–kp < 0.05 vs control group at 2–12 weeks for body weight; *p < 0.05 vs control group for uterus weightBack to article page
