Figure 1.

Increased bone volume and density at the mandibular condyle after long-term intermittent parathyroid hormone (I-PTH) administration. Coronal micro–computed tomography (micro-CT) images of condyles of control (CTRL) and I-PTH-injected mice (A). Quantification of bone parameters: (B) BVF = bone volume fraction, (C) tissue density, (D) trabecular thickness, and (E) trabecular spacing. Histograms (B-E) represent means ± standard deviation (SD) for n = 8 per group. Statistically significant difference between groups: *P < 0.05. Region of interest is illustrated by dotted lines in (A). Scale bar = 500 µm.
