The effect of dietary supplementation with 2-Ox on the thickness of zones in femoral articular cartilage and growth plate cartilage in glucocorticoid-induced, growth-retarded, mature gilts. Articular cartilage: (A) total cartilage thickness; (B) superficial zone; (C) transitional zone; (D) radial zone. Growth plate cartilage: (a) total cartilage thickness; (b) reserve zone; (c) proliferation zone; (d) hypertrophy zone; (e) ossification zone. Control—the control group included growth-retarded gilts not supplemented with 2-Ox; 2-Ox—the 2-Ox group included growth-retarded gilts supplemented with 2-Ox at a dose of 0.4 g/kg b.w./day. Data are mean values ± SD (whiskers) from n = 6 gilts. Statistical significance: * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001 (two-tailed Student’s t-test or Mann–Whitney U test).
