Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with increased alveolar bone loss induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). C57BL/6 mice, with or without MetS, were injected with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or LPS in periodontal tissue to induce periodontitis as described in Methods. After the treatment, the maxillae were scanned by micro–computed tomography (A), and bone volume fractions were quantified (B). The data are presented as means ± SD (n = 7).
