Bone parameters of proximal tibia
| Vehicle | STZ | US | |
|---|---|---|---|
| BV/TV (%) | 37 ± 3.6 | 19 ± 2.4* | 28 ± 3.2# |
| Tb. N (mm-1) | 8.8 ± 0.72 | 5.1 ± 0.32* | 7.9 ± 0.90# |
| Tb. Th (μm) | 52 ± 4.3 | 27 ± 4.0* | 50 ± 4.5# |
| BMD/TV (mg HA/cm3) | 150 ± 12.2 | 78 ± 10.6* | 109 ± 13.3# |
BV/TV, bone volume over total volume; Tb. N, trabecula number; Tb. Th, trabecula thickness; BMD/TV, bone mineral density over total volume. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 6 in each group.
