Figure 3

Representative tissue sections stained for apoptotic cells (arrowheads) using an indirect TUNEL method (A). Apoptotic (Apoptag+) and total amount of cells were counted in subchondral bone (B) articular cartilage (D) and growth plate cartilage (E). Correlation between femorotibial trabecular thickness measurements and percentage of apoptotic osteocytes (C). The regression line with 95% confidence intervals are displayed. c: cartilage, scb: subchondral cortical bone.
