Protein expression of the distal femur. A Western blot bands illustrating the semiquantitative results for ALP and PPAR-γ. B Western blot bands and the semiquantitative findings for mTOR, p-mTOR and P62. In KD + icariin mice, icariin drastically reduced the expression of PPAR-γ, p-mTOR and P62, while significantly enhanced the expression of ALP. Data were presented as averages and standard deviations, with *P < 0.05 was used to compare the sham group with the control group and #P < 0.05 was used to compare the KD and KD + icariin groups
