Histology analysis by H&E staining of femurs sections of Tg6- and ΔEpoRE-mice. a Femurs of 11-week-old male and female Tg6 mice and controls. Red arrows indicate marrow adipocytes, which appear as white circles in the marrow, pink colored regions are bones and blue regions are the marrow (BM). White arrows in Tg6 histology images show sinusoids (n = 4/group). b Femurs of 11-week-old male and female ΔEpoRE mice and controls (n = 4/group). c Femur sections of 8-week-old wt and ΔEpoRE mice receiving 1 200 IU·kg–1 of EPO for ten days. d Number of marrow adipocytes in femurs of male and female Tg6 mice (n = 5/group). e Number of marrow adipocytes in the femurs of wild-type and ΔEpoRE mice. f Number of adipocytes in the femurs of wild-type and ΔEpoREmice receiving 1 200 IU·kg–1 of EPO or saline treatment for ten days. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
