Schematic of HE-stained rat femoral head and the analysis of serum ALP levels. (A) Schematic diagram of HE staining of the femoral head of each group of rats. The black arrows indicate empty bone sockets, the blue arrows indicate nuclear pyknosis, and the red arrows indicate fat droplets. (Scale bar = 500 and 100 μm). (B) The ratio of empty lacuna within the femoral head in various groups. (C) Serum ALP levels of rats in each group. ***p < 0.001, n = 3.
