Synergistic decrease of type H vessel and bone mineral density in human bone. (a–c) Micro-CT 3D reconstructed image of bone samples from normal (a), osteopenia (b), and osteoporosis (c) patients. (d–i) Quantification of the trabecular index of bone samples from normal (N=6), osteopenia (N=10), and osteoporosis (N=8) patients. (j–l) Bone immunostaining for CD31 (green), Endomucin (red), Osterix (gray), and DAPI (blue) for normal (j), osteopenia (k), and osteoporosis (l) patients. Graphs represent mean±S.D.; *P<0.05; **P<0.01; Scale bar: 100 μm
