Figure 2.Fructus Ligustri Lucidi (FLL) preserves the bone microarchitecture and bone strength in the femurs of aging mice. Representative 3D reconstructions of trabecular images in the femoral metaphysis by micro(μ)-CT (A). μCT-derived quantification data of femoral metaphysis including BV/TV (%, B), Tb.N (1/mm) (C), Tb.Sp (mm) (D), Tb.Th (mm) (E), Tt.Ar (mm²) (F), Ct.Ar (mm²) (G), Ct.Th (mm, H). Three-point bending examination results including ultimate load (I), bending strength (X100MPa, J), and elastic modulus (X100GPa, K) in the femurs. Data are presented as mean ± SD. # compared with the normal group. * compared with the aging model group. p < 0.05 was considered statistical difference, n = 8.
