Inhibition of Bone Loss by Cissus quadrangularis in Mice: A Preliminary Report

Figure 4

Effects of Cissus quadrangularis on the cortical bone thickness and perimeters of the proximal tibial metaphysis and tibia fibula junction of C57Bl/6 mice after ovariectomy using pQCT. Data are Mean ± SE. (A) Cortical thickness; (B) periosteal perimeter; (C) Endocortical perimeter. Black bars represent proximal tibial metaphysis; white bars represent tibia fibula junction. LC S: lab chow sham; LC O: lab chow ovariectomy; CQ S: Cissus quadrangularis sham; CQ O: Cissus quadrangularis ovariectomy. a 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 versus LC O; b 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 versus LC S.
