Monitoring of the trabecular bone (A) and cortical bone (B) parameters by the three-dimensional micro-CT analysis program. Trabecular bone parameters assessed (A): (A1) BV/TV, bone volume/tissue volume; (A2) BS/BV, bone surface/tissue volume; (A3) Tb.Th, trabecular thickness; (A4) Tb.Sp, trabecular separation; (A5) Tb.N, trabecular number; (A6) Tb.Pf, trabecular pattern factor; (A7) SMI, structure model index; (A8) BMD, bone mineral density. Cortical bone parameters assessed (B): (B1) BV, bone volume density; (B2) MMI, mean polar moment of inertia; (B3) Cs.Th, cross-section thickness; (B4) BMD, bone mineral density. sham, sham-operated control; OVX, ovariectomized rat without treatment; LRV, ovariectomized rat treated with low-dose RC vinegar; HRV, ovariectomized rat treated with high-dose RC vinegar; ALEN, ovariectomized rat treated with alendronate. *
p < 0.05 compared to the sham, # p < 0.05 compared to the OVX group.
