BMD and images of femoral bone microstructure examined by micro-CT among three groups. (A) 2D images of the longitudinal views at femur. (B) Unreconstructed images of the longitudinal views at femur. (C) BMD of trabecular and cortical bone. (D) 3D images of cortical bone at femur, trabecular bone at femur, and trabecular bone at distal femoral metaphysis respectively. (E) Unreconstructed images of the trabecular and cortical bones at femur. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, control group n = 5, HFD sham group n = 5, HFD SG group n = 9, *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. Control group. Tb BMD: the trabecular bone mineral density; Ct BMD: cortical bone mineral density
