Inhibitory effects of sesame oil on OVX-induced osteoporosis. Rats were divided into four groups (n = 6). Sham group, rats received sham operation; OVX group, rats received OVX; SOL group, rats received OVX and sesame oil orally (0.25 mL/kg/day); and SOH group, rats received OVX and sesame oil orally (0.5 mL/kg/day). All animals in this study were sacrificed 4 months after sham or OVX operation. (A) The decalcification femurs were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The magnifications were × 100. (B) The trabecular area (%) was measured with Image J software. Values were expressed as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05 compared with sham group; #p < 0.05 compared with OVX group.
