Popis: The preventive effects of nanopowdered eggshell (NPES) on postmenopausal osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats was studied. Rats fed NPES and powdered eggshell (PES) exhibited 6.6 and 2.2% greater bone mineral densities (BMD) than ovariectomized (OVX) rats. NPES administration resulted in greater bone stiffness than PES. Investigation of the trabecular bone in NPES fed rats revealed a 12.4% higher bone volume (BV/TV), 7.5% higher trabecular number (Tb.N.), and 14.5% lower trabecular separation (Tb.Sp.), compared with OVX rats. Serum analysis demonstrated that NPES fed rats showed a significantly (p
