surface. (A) Representative SEM micrographs of WNIN rat
tibial surfaces at 3, 6, and 9 months at different magnifications.
(B) Representative SEM micrographs of WNIN/Gr-Ob rat
tibial surfaces at 3, 6, and 9 months. The micrographs were captured at
various magnifications (10×, 100×, 500×, and 1000×) (n
