Figure 2
Photomicrographs of Masson trichrome–stained sections in rat femur, mandible, and condyle at 8 and 36 weeks after surgery. The blue-stained area indicates bone and red indicates soft tissue. In femur, the trabecular bone pattern is significantly lower in ovariectomized group than in the sham surgery group. The condyle shows a significant bone increase in both groups at 36 weeks post-surgery.
