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

Figure 3

Effects of Cissus quadrangularis on the cancellous and cortical bone parameters of the proximal tibial metaphysis and tibia fibula junction of C57Bl/6 mice after ovariectomy using pQCT. Data are Mean ± SE. (A) cancellous BMC; (B) cancellous BMD; (C) cortical BMC; (D) cortical BMD. Black bars represent distal femoral metaphysis; White bars represent femoral diaphysis. LC S: lab chow sham; LC O: lab chow ovariectomy; CQ S: Cissus quadrangularis sham; CQ O: Cissus quadrangularis ovariectomy. ^a𝑃<0.05 versus LC O; ^b𝑃<0.05 versus CQ S; ^c𝑃<0.05 versus LC S.
