Figure 7. Validation of miR-181a-5p level in osteoporotic patients. (A) The clinical information of recruited healthy volunteers and patients includes the number of male/female, the mean age and the mean lumbar spine BMD T-score. (B) mRNA levels of miR-181a-5p in healthy volunteers and osteoporosis patients. Data represent mean ± s.e.m. (n = 30). ***P<0.001. (C) Linear regression of BMD and miR-181a-5p mRNA levels in the whole cohort (n = 60).
