The effect of TSG on the bone weight and length in OVX mice.
| Length (mm) | Weight (mg) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tibia | Femur | Tibia | Femur | |
| SHAM | 16.6 ± 0.33 b | 1.94 ± 0.75 a,b | 55.46 ± 4.79 b,c | 44.9 ± 2.87 b,c |
| OVX | 15.98 ± 0.27 a | 19.05 ± 0.37 a | 45 ± 2.70 a | 40.7 ± 1.70 a |
| E2 | 17.08 ± 0.25 c | 19.8 ± 0.59 b | 59.24 ± 1.76 c,d | 46.62 ± 0.62 c |
| TSG1 | 16.52 ± 0.18 b | 19.33 ± 0.2 a,b | 54.8 ± 2.11 b | 43.1 ± 1.59 a,b |
| TSG2 | 16.52 ± 0.13 b | 19.28 ± 0.18 a,b | 5.98 ± 2.33 d | 44.08 ± 1.64 b,c |
TSG 1 µg/g and TSG 3 µg/g increase the OVX-induced decrease in the weight and length of bone. a, b, c, and d: The means not sharing a common letter are significantly different among group at p < 0.05 by one-way ANOVA with Duncan’s multiple-range test.
