Figure 2. ATV did not modulate inflammation and affected bone cell count in diabetic animals with periodontitis. Histomorphometric analysis of hemimaxilla of rats in the interproximal site with HE and TRAP staining. (B) Osteoblast count/mm of bone and (C) Osteoclast count/mm of bone. In HE staining was used 40x magnification. G= Gingiva; D= Dentin; C= Cement; AB= Alveolar Bone. Inflammatory infiltrate is indicated with asterisks and bone resorption with arrows. In TRAP staining arrow indicates osteoclasts in 400x magnification. Bars represent the mean±standard error of mean of 6 rats per group. *Significant difference compared to the Naive group. #Significant difference compared to the EP group. ANOVA followed by Tukey test. P<0.05.
