Histomorphometric analysis of trabecular bone volume, total, cortical, and medullary area in distal femur after four months of treatment with TTA (Study I).

Group	CTR; (controls given vehicle) (𝑁=12)	TTA; (given TTA) (𝑁=12)
Trabecular bone volume (%)	22.2±5.95	22.1±4.70
Total area (mm^2)	6.26±0.32	6.65±0.32^a
Cortical area (mm^2)	3.99±0.29	4.27±0.24^a
Medullary area (mm^2)	2.35±0.25	2.37±0.15

Data are presented as mean ± SD, ^a𝑃<0.05 significantly different compared to control.
