From: Smoking induces increased apoptosis in osteoblasts: changes in bone matrix organic components
Expression of OPG and RANKL in bone homogenate of non-smokers, former smokers and smokers (A) n = 24, n = 24, n = 21 respectively), (B) n = 8, n = 13, n = 16 respectively). Significant decrease was found in smokers compared with non-smokers group in OPG (*p = 0.014, Dunn's Test). Values were expressed the mean ± SE.
