Negative Influence of a Long-Term High-Fat Diet on Murine Bone Architecture

Figure 3

Microstructure of cancellous bone in mineralized semi-thin sections. The trabeculae of (a) control mice were wider and more connected than the trabeculae of (b) HFD mice. Higher magnification revealed that (c) control mice dispose more osteoid than (d) HFD mice. Tr = trabculae, OS = osteoid, OT = osteocyte, C = control mice, and arrow = megakaryocytes. Scale bar: 100 μm in ((a)-(b)) and 20 μm in ((c)-(d)).
