Alcian blue staining: The bone metaphysis in the control (a) and morphine-dependent (b) groups (B1 and B2 show different zones of the growth cartilage, 40 X). Comparison of the optical density of Alcian blue /Area between (represented the GAG contents) two groups in 1 day and seven-day infants (c). Alizarin red staining: The bone diaphysis in the control (d; A1, B1) and morphine-dependent groups (d; A2, B2) (40X). n = 8.
