Bone Mineral Density (BMD) from mandibular condyles of adult male mice 2 days and 7 days after unilateral BoNT/A intervention in the right masseter muscle. (a) 3D view of mouse mandible performed with DataViewer (v1.5.6.2, Bruker microCT). The scan was carried out under the following parameters: SkyScan 1278 (Bruker), Voltage 65 kV, Current 692 µA, Aluminum filter 1 mm, voxel size 51.48 µm and reconstruction program NRecon (v1.7.4.2, Bruker microCT). Dotted circle: Close up of volume of interest, the mandibular condyle. Scale bar: 1 mm. (b) Measurement of BMD in samples from both sides of experimental individuals 2 days and 7 days after BoNT/A injection, obtained with the CT Analyzer (v1.18.4.0, Bruker microCT). Min to Max; n = 5 per day; paired t-test between samples from the same individual; Shapiro Wilk test: p > 0.05; ** p < 0.01; ns: non-significant.
