Fig. 3From: Factors influencing the bone mineral density in Duroc boarsRelationship between backfat thickness and bone quality in boars. A Effects of backfat thickness on BMD. B Quadratic relationship for backfat thickness and SOS in Duroc boars. Each black point represents a sample. C Effects of backfat thickness on serum OCN, CTX-I, PIICP and CTX-II levels. Values were expressed as mean ± SEM. A, B peer data show extremely significant differences without the same letter (P < 0.01)Back to article page
