The effects of Cordyceps sinensis phytoestrogen on estrogen deficiency-induced osteoporosis in Ovariectomized rats

Table 1 Effects of CSIF on the mass of uterus and thymus in ovariectomized rats

Groups	Thymus mass (mg)	Absolute weight of uterus (mg)	Relative weight of uterus (mg)
Sham	270.11 ± 23.10^**	340.15 ± 20.10^**	125.11 ± 11.03^**
OVX	540.1 ± 31.11	79.21 ± 3.21	29.7 ± 8.6
CSIF-100	288.3 ± 20.00^**	309.10 ± 11.20^**	115.6 ± 31.0^*
CSIF-50	333.0 ± 20.22^*	266.23 ± 11.11^*	84.0 ± 9.2^*
CSIF-20	530.0 ± 18.20	100.30 ± 22.22	51.6 ± 8.8

Relative weight of uterus is the weight of uterus normalized with body weight (mg per 100 g of body weight). Values are mean ± SEM. n = 10. ^*P <0.05 vs. OVX control; ^**P <0.01 vs. OVX control.
