From: Dietary countermeasure mitigates simulated spaceflight-induced osteopenia in mice
Effect of DP diet on cancellous bone loss induced by simulated spaceflight. Mice were separated into groups (n = 10/group), fed specific diets (either Control Diet, CD or Dried Plum diet, DP) and then were either unloaded to simulate weightlessness (HU), irradiated with 2 Gy 137Cs (IR), or a combination of the two (HU + IR). Tibiae were analyzed by microCT for cancellous bone parameters such as bone volume fraction (BV/TV, Panel a), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th, Panel b), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp, Panel c), and trabecular number (Tb.N, Panel d). Data shown are mean + /− S.D. Different letters indicate p < 0.05,1-factor ANOVA with all pairs Tukey Kramer.
