DQ supplementation ameliorates bone loss in CHH-exposed mice. (A) Quantification of BMD and BMC in the tibia, femur, spine, and total body using DXA. (B) Representative µCT images of the right femurs from different groups, accompanied by quantitative µCT analyses of bone parameters, including BV/TV, Tb.N, Tb.Th, Conn.D, Tb.Sp, SMI, Ct.Th, Ct.V, and Ct.Ar. (C) Evaluation of the mechanical properties of left femurs, including maximum load, yield load, ultimate displacement, yield displacement, energy absorption, and stiffness. Data are presented as mean ± SD, with n = 10 per group. Asterisks indicate statistical significance relative to the reference groups, with p-values denoted as *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001.
