Effects of l long-term treatment with raloxifene on the expression of (a) SFRP5 and (b) Wnt5a in the retroperitoneal white adipose tissue of ovariectomized rats. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 versus Sham; # P < 0.05 versus OVX; +P < 0.05 versus OVX + CMC; ϕP < 0.05 versus OVX + E2, n = 8–10. OVX: ovariectomy; RAL: raloxifene (1 mg/kg/day, gavage); E2 (50 μg/kg, s.c.); CMC: carboxymethylcellulose (1 ml/kg/day, gavage)
