Tanshinol protects the bone micro-architecture against glucocorticoid. (A) The micro-architecture of the trabecular portion of the proximal femur of rats was measured and analyzed with a Micro-CT machine. The statistical parameters of cancellous bone in the proximal tibia of GIO rats were determined using histomorphometry: (B) trabecular area, (C) trabecular number and (D) trabecular spacing. The data are presented as the mean±SD (n=8). ^*P<0.05 vs normal control (Con). ^#P<0.05 vs GC treatment (GC).
