Virgin Coconut Oil Supplementation Prevents Bone Loss in Osteoporosis Rat Model
Figure 6
Photomicrographs of undecalcified bone sections stained with von Kossa. (a) Baseline; (b) Sham; (c) ovariectomized control rats (Ovx); (d) ovariectomized rats with virgin coconut oil (Ovx+VCO); (e) ovariectomized rats with calcium (Ovx+Ca). (20X magnification.) The trabecular bones of Ovx+NRC appeared to be sparser compared to the other groups. The bones of Ovx+VCO group appeared thicker and denser than Ovx group and comparable to Sham group.
