NMP inhibits RANKL-induced bone resorption. RAW264.7 cells were cultured on bone slices and treated as indicated. After 9 days of culture, the cells were completely removed, and the bone slices were stained with toluidine blue, followed by photography (upper). Histograms represent the percentage of the resorbed area (lower). Data are expressed as the mean ± S.D. (n = 3) from a representative experiment.
