Figure 3. Bone histomorphometry and detection of osteoclastic activities of the condylar subchondral bone of 4-week and 8-week control rats (Con) and experimental rats (Exp) treated with physiological saline (Veh), propranolol (PRO) or isoproterenol (ISO).

Figure 3

A: Representative images of H&E and TRAP staining. B: Bone histomorphometric analysis of bone volume fraction (BVF), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular number (Tb.N) and trabecular separation (Tb.Sp). C: Bone histomorphometric analysis of osteoclast number (Oc.N) and the percentage of osteoclast surface area with respect to bone surface (Oc.S/BS). D: Real-time PCR analysis of the mRNA expression of Cathepsin K (CasK), TRAP and calcitonin receptor (CTR) in the condylar subchondral bone. *P < 0.05: vs age-matched control, **P < 0.01: vs age-matched control; #P < 0.05: vs age-matched vehicle-treated counterpart, ##P < 0.01: vs age-matched vehicle-treated counterpart.
