Growth plate of the right tibia (A) and higher magnification images in the Si-deprived (B1 and B2), Si-supplemented (C1 and C2) and standard rodent stock feed-fed (D1 and D2) groups. Growth plates from two animals (1 and 2) are shown as representative for each group. Growth plate thickness was reduced, while chondrocyte cell density appears to be slightly increased in the Si-deprived group (B1 and B2) compared to the Si-supplemented and standard rodent stock feed-fed reference groups.
