Figure 1. PLD reverses the loss in BMD after chronic SCI. (A) Representative images of Polygonum cuspidatum, giant knotweed, and polydatin (PLD). (B) The structure of PLD. Areal BMD acquired by DEXA scanning at (C) distal femoral metaphysic, (D) proximal tibial metaphysic, and (E) lumbar spine (L3-L5) in different groups. Data in panels represent as mean ± S.D.; n=8 in each group; *P < 0.05, vs. the Sham group; #P < 0.05, vs. the SCI group.
