Probiotics attenuate periapical bone resorption in OVX rats. A‐D, Representative images of OCN⁺ cells, TRAP⁺ cells, IL‐17A⁺ cells and Foxp3⁺ cells at the periapical area of mesial root of mandibular first molar and quantitative analyses of positive cells number per hpf, respectively. Black arrows indicate positively stained cells. Scale bar = 50 μm. Data are presented as the mean ± SD, n = 5 rats per group. The p values are indicated above the horizontal bars. Hpf, high‐power fields; lsPro, life space probiotics; OCN, osteocalcin; TRAP, tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase; Veh, Vehicle
