LGG ameliorates osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats. (a) the femur distal metaphyseal region of rats was analyzed using micro-computed tomography (CT). (b-h) Comparison of BMD, BV/TV, BS/TV, Tb.Sp, Tb.N, Tb.Th, SMI between groups. (i-k) Biomechanics of the femur of ovariectomized rats; a three-point bending test was used to detect the stiffness, ultimate load, and deflection. Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. (n = 6–12). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001 (Dunnett multiple comparisons test). BMD, bone mineral density; BV/TV, bone volume/total volume; BS/BV, bone surface area/bone volume; Tb.Sp, trabecular separation; Tb.N, trabecular number; Tb.Th, trabecular thickness; SMI, structure model index; LGG, Lactobacillus rhamnosus.
