Relative mRNA expression of bone metabolism-related genes in the bone marrow of rats.

<p>Relative mRNA expression of osteoprotegerin, nuclear factor kappa B ligand, nuclear factor kappa B, osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase in the bone marrow of the T and C group rats after 1, 3 and 5 months of pseudopurpurin feeding to the T group. The values are the means ± SD. <b>^#</b> Significant difference between T group and C group rats of the same age at <b><i>P</i></b><0.05, determined by paired-samples <b><i>t</i></b>-test. <b>^a,b,c,d,e</b><b><i>P</i></b><0.05, vs. 1 month (C group), 3 months (C group), 5 months (C group), 1 month (T group) and 3 months (T group) after pseudopurpurin feeding respectively (Bonferroni correction).
