Effects of exercise on the morphological structure of bone. The data in the graphs are expressed as the mean  ±  SD, n  =  6. A Using Alizarin red staining to observe the effects of two kinds of exercise on the changes of trabecular bone in the distal femoral cancellous bone of T2DM mice (4 ×). B Representative images of micro-CT analysis of the microstructure of the trabecular bone at the mouse distal femur and related indicator changes. BMD bone mineral density; BV/TV bone volume fraction; BS/BV bone surface area to bone volume ratio; BS/TV ratio of bone surface area to tissue volume; Tb.Th trabecular thickness; Tb.N trabecular number; Tb.Sp trabecular separation. C Representative images of micro-CT analysis of the microstructure of the cortical bone at the mice distal femur and related indicator changes. *P  <  0.05, **P  <  0.01
