Figure 7
Histological analysis of the number of osteoclasts on the left tibiae. (a) Sham-operated group. (b) OVX + H2O group. These rats show an increase in the number of osteoclasts (arrows). (c) OVX + FME (500 mg kg−1) group. These rats show a decrease in the number of osteoclasts (arrows). (d) OVX + alendronate group. These rats show a decrease in the number of osteoclasts (arrows). Magnification = 200x. (e) Histogram representing the osteoclast number/mm bone surface (N. Oc/BS). All values are mean ± SD (n = 8). ***P < .001 compared with the OVX + H2O group.
