Figure 3.

Extremities are lengthened on the heat-treated side. (A) Error bar plots show > 12% increase in tibial elongation rate on the heat-treated side. (B) Right-left tibial slab sections from the same mouse labeled with OTC. The metaphyseal chondro-osseous junction (COJ) is indicated by the single arrowheads. Double arrowheads show OTC band in metaphyseal bone. Growth rate was calculated by measuring the vertical distance between the arrowheads (gray lines). Yellow segment of the vertical line on the heat-treated side shows the total difference in length measured over 7-days. (C) Ear area and (D) tibial length remain significantly increased on the heat-treated side in skeletally mature adults after only 14 days of juvenile heat exposure (see Fig. 1). Mean ± 1 standard error plotted.
