Control	5.32 (1.53;9.11)	1.00 (0.44;1.56)	0.21 (0.13;0.29)
Zoledronate	17.09 (3.95;30.23)	2.45 (0.70;2.22)	0.38 (0.12;0.65)
Zoledronate/Control	2.57 (1.08;6.13)	1.98 (0.80;4.93)	1.26 (0.46;33.45)
p-value	0.036	0.123	0.61

Data are presented as mean for each treatment group (Control or Zoledronate) or median for the paired ratios (Zoledronate/Control). 95%CI in parentheses.
