qPCR: quantitative polymerase chain reaction; μCT: micro-computed tomography; IHC: Immunohistochemistry; ELISA: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

: Samples used for μCT and IHC analyses were collected from the same animals.

^**

: Blood samples used for ELISA were collected randomly from animals in IHC and qPCR groups.

^†

: Samples excluded due to technical problems during sample processing.
