LR administration enhances trabecular bone microarchitecture. 3-D µCT reconstruction of LV-5 Trabecular, Femur Trabecular and Tibia Trabecular of all groups. (A) Bone micro-architecture of LV-5. (B) Histomorphometric parameters of LV-5. (C) Bone micro-architecture of femur trabecular. (D) Histomorphometric parameters of femur trabecular. (E) Bone micro-architecture of Tibia trabecular. (F) Histomorphometric parameters of Tibia trabecular. Bone volume/tissue volume ratio (BV/TV); Tb. Th., trabecular thickness; Tb. Sp., trabecular separation. The results were evaluated by ANOVA with subsequent comparisons by Student t-test for paired or nonpaired data. Values are reported as mean ± SEM. The above graphical representations are indicative of one independent experiment and similar results were obtained in two different independent experiments with n = 6. Statistical significance was considered as p ≤ 0.05 (*p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001) with respect to indicated mice groups.
