Bone mineral density (BMD) and lean body mass (LBM). Female rats were assigned to the following regime for 6 weeks. Ad libitum supply of water and food (normal-control, WAFA), water supply for 1 h per day with ad libitum food intake (WRFA), and ad libitum water supply plus pair feeding of food to as much as WRFA (WAFR). Rats in WR-WA had water restriction for 3 weeks and ad libitum water supply with ad libitum food intake for 3 weeks. At the end of the experimental period, BMD in the lumbar spine and femur (a), LBM in the hip and leg regions (b), and fat mass in the abdomen and leg (c) were measured by DEXA. Each bar and error bar represents mean ± SD (n = 10). a, b, cBars with a different letters differ significantly by Tukey’s test at p < 0.05
