Rodent diet consumption, protein consumption, body weight variation, TP and Alb among the four groups.

Data are expressed as mean ±SD. Rodent diet consumption and protein consumption were calculated from the data for 3 weeks after feeding on Control diet or PM diet. The body weight variation was calculated using the initial (upon starting feeding on Control diet or PM diet) and final weights (day of wound preparation) of the animals in each group. n = 15 in Control SHAM, PM SHAM and PM OVX+17β-estradiol groups and 14 in PM OVX group (rodent diet consumption, protein consumption and body weight variation) and n = 10 in Control SHAM, 9 in PM SHAM and 6 in PM OVX and PM OVX+17β-estradiol groups (TP and Alb). ANOVA, Tukey-Kramer.
*p<0.05,
**p<0.01versus Control SHAM.
