Analysis of bone formation and resorption serum biochemical markers after simvastatin treatment. (A) Changes in the serum levels of the bone formation marker osteocalcin (OCN) are shown after 2 months of simvastatin or saline treatment. (B) Changes in the serum levels of the bone resorption marker tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP5b) are shown after 2 months of simvastatin or saline treatment. Values are expressed as the mean the standard deviation (N = 6; * indicates p < 0.05, ** indicates p < 0.01).
