Morphological and Histopathological Changes in Orofacial Structures of Experimentally Developed Acromegaly-Like Rats: An Overview
Figure 5
Left: illustration showing measurements for width (a), length (b), and angle θ (c) of the mandibular dental arch. Measurements for the maxillary arch (not shown) were the same as for the mandible. Right: mandibular and maxillary arch measurements during and after administration of IGF-I (mandible: *, ** versus control; maxilla: no significant differences). Closed circles: IGF-I-treated mandibles; open circles: control mandibles; closed squares: IGF-I-treated maxilla; open squares: control maxilla. Data represent the mean ± SD of six rats; adapted from a previous report [9].
