Alterations of BTMs among the three groups. Serum concentrations of (A) BALP, (B) PINP, (C) OC, (D) NTX, (E) CTX-1, (F) 25(OH)D3 and (G) PTH were evaluated by ELISA. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, control group n = 5, HFD sham group n = 5, HFD SG group n = 9, *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. Control group; #P<0.05, ##P<0.01 vs. HFD sham group. BALP: Bone specific alkaline phosphatase; PINP: N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen; OC: Osteocalcin; NTX: N-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen; CTX-1: C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen; 25(OH)D3: 25-hydroxy vitamin D3; PTH: Parathyroid hormone
