Body composition including bone mineral density (BMD), lean mass (LM), and fat mass (FM) measured by DEXA. Control, OVX rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD) with 1% dextrin; CFM, OVX rats fed an HFD with 1% lyophilized cauliflower mushroom; LFE, OVX rats fed an HFD with 0.1% L. fermentum plus 1% dextrin; CFLF, OVX rats fed an HFD with 1% CFM plus 0.1% L. fermentum; positive-control, OVX rats fed an HFD with 1% dextrin plus 30 μg/kg body weight 17β-estradiol. At the end of the experimental period, BMD (a) in the lumbar spine and femur and LM (b) and FM (c) in the abdominal and leg regions were measured by DEXA. Values are expressed as means ± SD (n = 12). Different letters represent a significant difference in Tukey test at p < 0.05
