Effects of vaspin on microcomputed tomography. 2D-microCT images and 3D-microCT images of femurs in different groups (a). Tb.vBMD, trabecular volume bone mineral density; Tb.BV/TV, trabecular bone volume/total volume; Tb.Th, trabecular thickness; Tb.N, trabecular number; Tb.Sp, trabecular separation and SMI, the structure model index (b-g). Ct.vBMD, cortical volume bone mineral density; Ct. BV/TV, cortical bone volume/total volume; Ct. Th, cortical bone thickness (h-j). *p < 0.05 compared with ND, #p < 0.05 compared with HFD + vaspin. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 8)
