Effects of in vivo radiation exposure to a single bone. a ALP-stained sections showing effect on OB.S/BS at 12 weeks. b TRAP-stained sections showing effect on OC.S/BS at 12 weeks. c Oil Red O-stained sections showing effect on adipocyte area. Data are presented as the means ± standard deviations; ^** P < 0.01 and ^*** P < 0.001 (n = 8/group). d Levels of serum OCN and TRAP at 12 weeks. Data are presented as the means ± standard deviations; ^* P < 0.05 (n = 16/group). ALP alkaline phosphatase, OB.S/BS osteoblast surface to bone surface, OC.S/BS TRAP-positive osteoclast surface to bone surface, OCN osteocalcin, TRAP tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase
