Protocatechuic Acid Attenuates Trabecular Bone Loss in Ovariectomized Mice

Table 2

Effects of PCA on weight of the thymus and spleen in OVX mice.

Tissue (mg)		OVX
	Sham	—	PCA (mg/kg b.w.)		E2
			10	20	(0.1 mg/kg b.w.)
Thymus	47.75 ± 2.06	61.66 ± 5.68	61.33 ± 18.50	36.0 ± 1.41	44.0 ± 2.45
Spleen	151.65 ± 0.71	94.42 ± 3.79	88.08 ± 2.65	117.11 ± 1.41	137.14 ± 8.47

Data are mean ± SD (each group, ). between the sham and OVX-alone group. among OVX groups with or without interventions. b.w.: body weight; E₂: 17β-estradiol; OVX: ovariectomized; PCA: protocatechuic acid.
