Effects of SW and RAL treatment on histological features of vertebrae (V), femural metaphyseal bone (F) and contralateral femurs (Fct) of SHAM (A,F,K), OVX (B,G,L), OVX+SW (C,H,M), OVX+RAL (D,I,N) and OVX+SW+RAL (E,J,O) groups (panel A). Bone sections were stained with H&E to visualize trabecular thickness and organization, and adipose tissue infiltration in bone marrow. Effects of SW and RAL treatments on bone markers in serum: ALP (panel B), iPTH (panel C) and OPG/RANKL ratio (panel D). Values are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 6); **P <0.01 and ***P <0.001 compared with SHAM; #P <0.05, ##P <0.01 and ###P <0.001 compared with OVX.
