Influence of Estrogen Receptor α Polymorphisms on Bone Density in Response to Habitual Exercise in Japanese Postmenopausal Women
Figure 1
Dependence of bone density scores on PvuII and XbaI RFLP genotypes and haplotypes. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. The zero line is equal to the age-based mean value. compared between the exercise and nonexercise groups in each ERα genotype and haplotype. (a) The score (SD) of the exercise group was significantly higher than that of the nonexercise group. (b) pp showed higher score than Pp, but there was no significant difference. (c) In the XbaI genotype, the score of xx was significantly higher than that of Xx genotype. (d) The score of PPXX and Ppxx was significantly higher than other genotypes, but there was no significant difference.
