Administration of LGG improves expression of bone turnover markers. (a-d) the changes of serum Ca level, CTX-I, and PINP, and CTX-I/PINP were observed among the groups. (n = 8–10). (e) Representative pictures in TRAP stained (scale bar, 100 µm; arrows, red-wine stained osteoclasts with multiple nuclei) (n = 3). (f) OC.N/BS of osteoclasts from slices of distal femur was evaluated in each group in two different fields of view. (n = 3). Data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. (n = 6–12). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.0001 (Dunnett multiple comparisons test). CTX-I, C-telopeptide of type I collagen; PINP, N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen; OC.N, the number of osteoclast; OC.N/BS, the number of osteoclast/the bone surface area.
