From: Does clozapine really affect bone mineral density? An experimental study
Control Group Mean value | Clozapine Mean value | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|
Histological evaluation (osteocyte:osteoblast ratio) | 2.468 | 2.257 | 0.111 |

Radiological evaluation (Density of cortex and medulla) (Hounsfield units) | Cortex 902 Medulla 291.8 | Cortex 1001 Medulla 285.8 | 0.128 0.861 |
DEXA measurements (BMD g/cm2) | 0.2127 | 0.2102 | 0.662 |
