Histological images of growth plates and the width of each chondrocyte layer measured on the pictures. (a) The histological images of growth plates of alcian-blue staining. Yellow and red bars indicate the widths of the proliferative and hypertrophic zones, respectively. Black scale bar indicates 100 µm. (b–d) Graphs of widths of (b) whole growth plates, (c) hypertrophic zones, and (d) proliferative zones measured on histological images of alcian-blue staining. n = 4, each, in the CNP/vehicle, vehicle/vehicle, vehicle/DEX, and CNP/DEX groups. *P < 0.05, vs. vehicle/vehicle and †P < 0.05, vs. vehicle/DEX.
