Bone Mass-Normalized PET Measurements of Gastrectomized and Sham-Operated Animals
| Parameter | Gastrectomy (n = 7) | Sham operation (n = 6) | P* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bone perfusion (mL/[min·g]) | 0.499 ± 0.192 | 0.346 ± 0.09 | |
| Ki/BMD (mL/[min·g]) | 0.274 ± 0.055 | 0.158 ± 0.021 | <0.001 |
| Kflux/BMD (μmol/[min·g]) | 5.14 ± 0.93 | 2.92 ± 0.43 | <0.001 |
↵* Level of significance (gastrectomy vs. sham-operated animals).
