Results of L6 vertebral mechanical experiment in all groups (a–d). Compared to the Sham group, markedly lower maximum load, yield stress, maximum stress, and elastic modulus values were found in the OVX and OVX+PLF groups. Dmab treatment increased the above indices significantly compared to the OVX+PLF group. Note: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
