HFD improved microarchitecture of femur trabecular bone in APP/PS1 mice. The volumetric BMD [vBMD (A)], tissue BMD [tBMD (B)], and trabecular thickness [Tb.Th (F)] were not significantly altered in C57BL/6 mice and APP/PS1 mice; however, these parameters significantly increased after HFD. Bone volume fraction [BV/TV (D)] was lower in APP/PS1 mice and recovered after HFD feeding. No significant differences in BMC (C) or trabecular number [Tb. N (E)] were found among the three groups. The trabecular separation [Tb.Sp (G)] was not significantly altered in C57BL/6 mice or APP/PS1 mice, and it was reduced after HFD. Micrographs showed the microarchitecture of femoral trabecule (H) with arrows indicating the representative part. Data were means ± SEM. n = 7 for C57BL/6 mice, n = 8 for APP/PS1 mice, and n = 8 for APP/PS1 + HFD mice. The results were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, followed by Newman–Keuls post hoc test. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
