Table 3 Progression of EN and OPG levels. EN (pg/ml) and OPG (pmol/l) serum levels at baseline and after 2/4/6/8 months. Data is given as mean ± std.dev. The significance of the difference between baseline levels of OPG and EN were tested using paired sample t-test; the significance of the tendency of the progression of baseline levels to levels after 8 months was tested using Friedman test
