Effect of milk extracellular vesicle treatment on histological analyses of femur and osteoclast differentiation in vitro. (A) Osteoclast number over the bone surface area (N.Oc/BS) and representative histology of distal femur stained with TRAP (40× and 200×). Green arrows indicate osteoclasts. (B) The number of TRAP–positive cells/well and representative images of TRAP–positive cells in the culture (100×). Analyses were performed in mice (i) pseudo-operated (SHAM) or (ii) ovariectomized (OVX), (iii) non-treated (control), or (iv) treated with milk extracellular vesicles (mEVs). Values are means ± SEM of 6–8 animals per group. * vs. respective SHAM group and # vs. non-treated group.
