Ligature-induced alveolar bone loss of the lower first molar is reduced in L-NAME-treated rats. Panel A: Measurement of the distance from the cement-enamel junction (CEJ) to the alveolar bone crest was performed from digital X-ray images of the jaws (n = 10). For each time point, ***p < 0.001 vs. the S group; #p < 0.05 and ###p < 0.001 vs. S and S + L-NAME group; ***p < 0.001 vs. L group. Panel B: Representative X-ray images obtained from each experimental group at the different time points studied following ligature placement.
