From: Leptin differentially regulates chondrogenesis in mouse vertebral and tibial growth plates
Distinct VGP and TGP morphology in leptin-deficient mice suggests differential regulation of leptin in VGP and TGP chondrogenic differentiation. a Plan radiography showing tibial and crown rump lengths of wild type C57BL/6 mouse (left) and ob/ob mouse (right). Measurement of the lengths is shown in the bottom panel. (* p < 0.05, Student’s t-test, n = 3) (b) Toluidine blue staining for TGP and VGP of wild type and ob/ob mice. The bracket indicates the lengths of the proliferative zones in VGP and TGP of different mice. Scale bar, 100 μm
