Representative histopathological images of bone tissue and ALP activity in rats that underwent osteotomy.

Notes: (A) (a) Stained tissue sections of the control group, (b) Cissus quadrangularis-treated group, (c) Withania somnifera-treated group, and (d) combination group (original magnification ×10); (e) representative histopathological scores in osteotomized rats scaled from 0 to 11. Representative images from bone sections are presented. (B) Swiss albino rats surgically osteotomized and treated with herbal sample for 4 weeks were evaluated for levels of ALP in serum. (C) The structural differences of the osteotomized area of the limb were evaluated through X-ray and the observed severity of bone callus scaled between 0 and 5. (D) Representative radiographs showing the effects of different treatments; arrows indicate the area rats were osteotomized. Values correspond to means ± standard error (n=6 per group); *P<0.05.

Abbreviations: ALP, alkaline phosphatase; C. quad, Cissus quadrangularis; W. som, Withania somnifera.
