Influence of Bisphosphonate Treatment on Medullary Macrophages and Osteoclasts: An Experimental Study

<table>Mean number of nuclei in osteoclasts. The mean number of nuclei per osteoclast was evaluated in BrdU-detection sections, was significantly higher in bisphosphonate-treated animals compared to sham (*: Kruskal Wallis <svg height="13.55" id="M14" style="vertical-align:-2.29482pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 54.5 13.55" width="54.5" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
