Values are mean percentages of control ± SEs. Dried plum fractions (DP-FrA–DP-FrF) were screened for their ability to alter osteoclast differentiation under normal (0 ng LPS/mL) conditions. Fractions with significant effects under normal conditions (DP-FrA, DP-FrE, and DP-FrF) were tested under inflammatory conditions (1 ng LPS/mL). Data presented show osteoclast numbers from 2 to 3 experiments (n = 6 replicates/experiment) expressed relative to controls (0-µg/mL fractions and 0 ng LPS/mL). Within a row, means without a common superscript letter are significantly different from each other, P < 0.05. CON, control; DP-Fr, dried plum fraction.
