Se-SP reversed ovariectomy-induced bone loss. (a) Representative micro-CT images of SP and Se-SP inhibited femur bone loss in ovariectomy mice. (b–g) Quantitative analyses of bone histomorphometric of proximal tibias, the microstructural parameters including BV, Tb.Th, Bv/TV, Tb.N, and BMD. Characters A, B, C, and D are represented as statistically different between the groups.
