Figure 5: Effects of AOX diet on cancellous bone loss induced by simulated spaceflight radiation.
From: Dried plum diet protects from bone loss caused by ionizing radiation

Mice were fed control diet (CD2) or AOX diet, then irradiated with dual ions (protons, 56Fe) to simulate space radiation. After irradiation (11d), mice were euthanized and tibiae collected then analyzed by microCT. (BV/TV, Panel A), Tb.N (Panel B), Tb.Sp (Panel C) and Tb.Th (Panel D). Data shown are mean + S.D. (n = 10). *indicates p < 0.05 compared to CD2, 0 Gy.
