Figure 5. Effects of zoledronate on apoptosis during tibial and mandibular fracture repair.

Figure 5

TUNEL and TRAP double staining on ZA-treated tibial (A and B) and mandibular (C–E) fractures at day 5 post-injury. High magnifications (B, D, E) indicate apoptotic cells (black arrows) and TRAP-positive cells (white arrows) within the fracture callus. No TRAP-positive apoptotic cells can be detected at the fracture site. (A, C) Scale bar = 50 µm; (B, D, E) Scale bar = 10 µm.
