Popis: Aim The aim of the present work was to determine if both ovariectomy (OVX) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can change X-ray absorptiometry until reach the osteoporosis condition. Results The segmentation allowed us to quantitatively determine the X-ray absorption in the femurs of mice subjected to OVX, T2DM and both pathologies together. Conclusions The test subjects suffering from the mentioned pathologies separately or together, did not reach the osteoporosis condition when they were 30 weeks old.
