Microtomography analysis of metaphysic of the distal femurs in OVX mice of different groups. a Representative sample from each group: 3D architecture of trabecular bone within the distal femoral metaphyseal region. Effects of kinsenoside and alendronate on the trabecular bone volume (b), thickness of the trabeculae (c), number of trabeculae (d), and separation of trabeculae (e) of the distal femoral metaphysic in OVX rats by microtomography analysis. Values are means ± SD (n = 8). Values not sharing a common superscript differ significantly. Ale alendronate, BV/TV bone volume/tissue volume, Tb.Th thickness of the trabeculae, Tb.N number of trabeculae, Tb.Sp separation of trabeculae
