From: Bone turnover in passive smoking female rat: relationships to change in bone mineral density

Figure 4

The correlation between markers of bone turnover and BMD. The b-ALP positively correlated with bone mineral density of the lumbar vertebrae (r = 0.764, P = 0.027) and femur (r = 0.899, P = 0.002) in 4-month smoke-exposed female rats. TRACP 5b level negatively correlated with bone mineral density of the lumbar vertebrae (r=-0.871, P = 0.005) and femur (r=-0.715, P = 0.046) in 4-month smoke-exposed female rats.
