Two Different Isomers of Vitamin E Prevent Bone Loss in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis Rat Model
Figure 5
Photomicrographs of distal femur metaphyses from ovariectomized (a) and sham-operated (b) rats, as well as ovariectomized rats treated with alpha-tocopherol (c) and tocotrienol (d). Undecalcified histological bone sections stained with Von Kossa. Trabecular bones appear dark by Von Kossa staining. Loss of trabecular bone is apparent in A while treatment with either forms of Vitamin E prevented bone loss in ovariectomized rats ((c) and (d)). Light microscopy at magnification ×40.
