Evaluation of HFD-induced alveolar bone resorption. (A) Alveolar bone resorption was evaluated by μCT analysis in WT and Plap-1 KO mice fed with HFD. (B) Distance between alveolar bone crest and cement-enamel junction was measured at distal root of first molar (a), mesial (b) and distal (c) root of second molar. Start point/WT (n = 10), start point/Plap-1 KO (n = 10), 16 weeks after feeding/NC/WT (n = 10), 16 weeks after feeding/NC/Plap-1 KO (n = 8), 16 weeks after feeding/HFD/WT (n = 10), 16 weeks after feeding/HFD/Plap-1 KO (n = 10). Results show the mean ± SD. *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01.
