Regulation of bone and fat balance by fructus ligustri lucidi in ovariectomized mice
Figure 3. FLL improves bone microstructure and mechanical properties in OVX mice. (A) The microstructure of the distal femur by micro-CT showed that trabecular bone was severely reduced in the model group but recovered with estrogen and FLL treatment. Conn.D (bone trabecular connection density) (B) and left tibial strength (C) in the model group were significantly lower than in the sham group but recovered with 2g/kg of FLL. ##P < 0.01 compared with sham; *P < 0.05 compared with OVX; **P < 0.01 compared with OVX (n = 10).
