Thirty days after SHAM and bilateral ovariectomy, the OVX + HD + RIS group began treatment with risedronate sodium (ApothiMed Ltda., Araçatuba, SP, Brazil) at 35 mg/kg. The drug was diluted in saline solution and administered weekly by gavage using a curved gavage needle (Insight equipment) until the end of the experiment. Animals in the SHAM and OVX + HD groups received the vehicle (saline) only during the same period.
