Figure 7.
Representative images (a) and micro-CT parameters (b–f) of tibia trabecular structure upon completion of the two-week refeeding period. Data represented as mean ± SD. BME—group refed with the diet supplemented with whey protein concentrate enriched in bovine milk exosomes; BV/TV—bone volume to total volume ratio; Conn. Dens.—connective density; CTR—group refed with the control diet; RR—restricted group; Tb. N.—trabecular number; Tb. Sp.—trabecular separation; and Tb. Th.—trabecular thickness. * p-value < 0.05 compared to the control refeeding group (CTR); # p-value < 0.05 compared to the restricted group (RR).
