Figure 6. Surfaces with bone resorption but not bone formation were increased on surfaces adjacent to inflammation compared to surfaces adjacent to normal tissue in arthritic mice.

In mice with arthritis Oc.S/BS were increased on surfaces adjacent to inflammation compared to normal surfaces, on both endosteal (A) and periosteal (C) surfaces. MS/BS was not different on surfaces adjacent to inflammation compared to normal surfaces on either endosteal or periosteal surfaces (B&D). Horizontal lines indicate mean values. * indicates p<0.01. N = 10–11 mice per group.
