Figure 6. Alcohol-induced decreased osteogenic activity was rescued by PFTα in vivo.

Figure 6

(A–D) Immunohistochemical staining for OPN, COL1, RUNX2 and OCN in coronal sections of the femoral heads showed significantly reduced target protein expression in the subchondral trabeculae in the AL group. PFTα-injected rats showed a significant increase in positive staining compared to that in the AL group. The white triangles indicated the target protein staining. The yellow triangles indicated the empty lacunae. (E, F, G, H) Positive staining of OPN, COL1, RUNX2 and OCN in the femoral heads was quantified using Image-Pro Plus. (N = 3, *significant difference versus the AL group, *p < 0.05).
