Fig. 2From: Flavonoids isolated from Tridax procumbens (TPF) inhibit osteoclasts differentiation and bone resorptionEffect of the TPF on osteoclast activity as indicated by resorption pit area. Cells were cultured with RANKL (30 ng/ml) and M-CSF (30 ng/ml) for 7 days in the presence of 0, 50 or 100 μg/ml of the TPF and discs were fixed and stained with toluidine blue. a Effects of the TPF on the bone resorbing activity mature osteoclasts and the magnification in a represent ×10, b total resorbed pit area/well and c resorbed pit area/osteoclasts. The data were expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 4) for each group. *p < 0.05Back to article page
