Figure 4

Immunohistochemical localization of bone morphogenic proteins in the proximal tibial growth plate. BMP-2 (A) and BMP-4 (C) were detected in the proliferating and hypertrophic zone of the proximal tibial growth plate. Scale bar; 50 μm. (B,D) The stained area of BMP-2 and BMP-4 was analyzed using ImageJ® and calculated in terms of the fold of the control. Data are expressed as means ± SD (n = 6). ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001 vs. normal. BMP-2, bone morphogenetic protein-2; BMP-4, bone morphogenetic protein-4; PZ, proliferating zone; HZ, hypertrophic zone.
