Phillyrin Prevents Ovariectomy-Induced Osteolysis by Inhibiting Osteoclast Differentiation

Figure 1

Phillyrin (Phil) prevented ovariectomized (OVX)-induced bone loss in trabecular bone. (a) Reconstruction of representative 3D microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) images of proximal femurs trabecular bone in each group. Scale bar = 2 mm, 500 μm, and 1 mm. (b–e) The BV/TV, Tb.N, Tb.Sp, and Tb.Th values of the micro-CT data were analyzed from each sample. All values represent the mean ± SD (n = 6). and vs. the Sham group. # and ##vs. the OVX group. BV/TV, bone volume to tissue volume ratio; Tb.N, number of trabeculae; Tb.Th, trabecular thickness; Tb.Sp, trabecular separation.
