Bone microarchitectural parameters in the (a) subchondral region of the condyle and (b) central region of the condyle. Values are mean ± standard error. BMD, bone mineral density; BV/TV, bone volume fraction; Tb.Th, trabecular thickness; Tb.N, trabecular number; Tb.Sp, trabecular separation. * denotes a significant difference between the OVX group and the corresponding values of the sham group (Mann–Whitney U test, P < 0.05). OVX, ovariectomized.
