Figure 5

Effect of Polygonum multiflorum on trabecular morphometric parameters in distal femur of ovariectomized mice. Mice were treated with vehicle, PM (100, 200 mg/kg/day, p.o) for 6 weeks. (a) Bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV), (b) bone surface/tissue volume (BS/TV), (c) trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), (d) trabecular number (Tb.N), and (e) trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) as analyzed with micro-CT SkyScan CTAn software. Each value represents the mean ± SD for . sham versus OVX group. and significantly different from ovariectomized mice.
