Vitamin D Auto-/Paracrine System Is Involved in Modulation of Glucocorticoid-Induced Changes in Angiogenesis/Bone Remodeling Coupling

Figure 4

Effects of prednisolone and vitamin D₃ administration on RANK expression in bone tissue. Immunofluorescence staining of rat femur sections with anti-RANK-antibody (400x magnification) was performed in three animal groups: (1) control; (2) prednisolone administration; (3) prednisolone and vitamin D₃ administration. All data are obtained in three independent experiments done in triplicate.
