Catalpol attenuated the bone loss induced by ovariectomy. a 3D reconstruction of the coronal and transverse images of the distal femur at 8 weeks after surgery in each group. b–i MicroCT analyses of bone volume/total volume (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular thickness (Tb.T), bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), structure model index (SMI), cortical bone area (Ct.Ar) and cortical thickness (Ct.Th). j H&E staining of the sections from the distal femur. The data were confirmed by three repeated tests. The data are presented as the means ± SD. CA, catalpol. *P < 0.05 compared with the OVX group, ^#P < 0.05 compared with the OVX + CA group
