Micro-CT scanning analysis of bone loss for the effect of PPD on the murine calvarial osteolysis model. (A) Chemical structure of PPD. Molecular formula of C30H52O3 (≥ 97% purity) with an average molecular weight of 460.73. (B) Representative images of reconstructed 3D calvarias from each group. Graphic depiction of (C) bone mineral density (BMD, mg/cc), (D) bone volume/total volume (BV/TV, %), (E) number of pores and (F) total porosity within the ROI of each sample were measured. Significant differences between the groups were determined by ANOVA and Dunnett’s t-test. ∗P < 0.05 and ∗∗P < 0.01 compared with the vehicle group. Data are expressed as the means ± SD.
