Effect of Icariin on Tibial Dyschondroplasia Incidence and Tibial Characteristics by Regulating P2RX7 in Chickens

Figure 5

H&E stained histopathology micrograph depicts blood version and cell morphology in tibia bone. The normal group has regular columns of cells surrounded by blood vessels. TD group has necrosis along with less number of blood vessels and avascularized GP. Restored angiogenesis in proliferative zone (PZ) and hypertrophic zone (HZ) of growth plate found with the use of icariin. Arrow indicates blood vessels (BV); articular cartilage (AC); calcified zone (CZ); and TD lesion (TDL).
