Abstract
AIM: The aim of the present work was to determine if both ovariectomy (OVX) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can change X-ray absorptiometry until reach the osteoporosis condition. RESULTS: The segmentation allowed us to quantitatively determine the X-ray absorption in the femurs of mice subjected to OVX, T2DM and both pathologies together. CONCLUSIONS: The test subjects suffering from the mentioned pathologies separately or together, did not reach the osteoporosis condition when they were 30 weeks old.
