Protocatechuic Acid Attenuates Trabecular Bone Loss in Ovariectomized Mice
Figure 3
Effect of PCA on the cortical bone in OVX mice. After obtaining the three-dimensional image shown in Figure 3(a), changes in the following parameters of the cortical bone were analyzed: (a) bone volume density (BV), (b) mean polar moment of inertia (MMI), (c) cross-section thickness (Cs.Th), and (d) bone mineral density (BMD). The results are expressed as mean ± SD (each group, ). There was no statistical significance among the groups. E2: 17β-estradiol; OVX: ovariectomized; PCA: protocatechuic acid.
