Transplantation of the gut microbiome from healthy Ctrl mice ameliorates bone loss in SCD male recipient mice. μCT analysis of femur from Ctrl and SCD recipient male mice receiving feces from Ctrl or SCD male mice. Three-month-old Ctrl and SCD recipient mice subjected to FMT from Ctrl or SCD donor mice once a week. Six weeks-post FMT, samples were collected. (A) Representative μCT images of distal femur trabecular bone. (B) BV/TV, (C) BV, (D) TV, (E) Tb.N, (F) Tb.Th, and (G) Tb.Sp, of metaphysis. (H) Representative μCT images of mid-diaphysis cortical bone. (I) CtAr/TtAr, (J) Ct.Ar, (K) Tt.Ar, and (L) Ct.Th of mid-diaphysis. n = 6- mice/group. Data are shown as Mean ± SEM with individual data points. Statistical analyses were done using SPSS and p values were calculated using a two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc analysis. *p < 0.05.
