Eight weeks after surgery, OVX animals were further randomized to anti-resorptive treatment with zoledronate (n=11), osteo-anabolic treatment with teriparatide (n=11), or vehicle treatment (n=10).
After 12 weeks of treatment, bone and serum samples were used for microRNA analysis using next-generation sequencing (NGS), mRNA levels using RT-qPCR, and bone microarchitecture analysis using nanoCT.
