The effects of Zn + CS/pPRL implants on bone mass in rats with bone defect. (A) The representative image of Zn implants or Zn + CS/pPRL implants surgically implanted into the femur of rats. (B) Representative µCT images showing the 3D bone structures of femurs with bone defects from rats 3 months after Zn implants or Zn + CS/pPRL implants were implanted. (C) µCT measurements of BV/TV and Tb.N in femurs with bone defects. (D) Representative H&E staining images of femurs with bone defects. Scale bars, 100 μm. (E) SEM images of femurs with bone defects. NB: new bone; DP: degradation products; Scale bars, 1 mm. Bars represent mean ± S.D. *p < 0.05
