Fig. 2: Effects of calycosin on bone microstructure and BMD.
From: Calycosin prevents bone loss induced by hindlimb unloading
Representative Micro-CT 3D images of trabecular bone of distal femurs (a) and cortical bone of diaphyseal femurs (b) within various groups. c Representative section images of trabecular bones of distal femurs. d Quantitative analysis of the trabecular number (Tb.N) (d), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) (e), bone volume per tissue volume (BV/TV) (f), trabecular bone pattern factor (Tb.Pf) (g), trabecular spacing (Tb.Sp) (h), cortical thickness (Cr.Th) (i) in cortical bone and BMD (j) in trabecular bone. Here and in succeeding bar charts with dot, the centre line of the whiskers, which is also the upper bound of the box, depicts the group mean, and the whiskers correspond to the standard deviation (SD). The results are represented as the mean ± SD; n = 6/group. P-values calculated using a two-tailed Student’s t test (^P < 0.05, ^^P < 0.01 v.s. baseline; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 v.s. control; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 v.s. HLU).
