Antioxidant NAC application reverse oxidative stress and affect mandible formation. (a) ELISA shows lower MDA level in serum after adding antioxidant NAC in the diet of mice. (b) ELISA shows higher GSH-PX level in serum after adding antioxidant NAC in the diet of mice. (c) Microcomputed tomography reconstruction of mandibles of SOD1(-/-) male mice after feeding with NAC. (d) Quantitative analysis of alveolar bone under the alveolar crest of the mandibular first molar root bifurcation area. (e–i) Bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular bone separation (Tb.Sp), and trabecular bone number (Tb.N) of alveolar bone in first molar root bifurcation area. Data are shown as mean ± SD (n = 5). ∗P < 0.05; ∗∗P < 0.01. Scale bars (c) 2 mm.
