From: Multi-organ frailty is enhanced by periodontitis-induced inflammaging
Periodontitis reduces the bone mineral density (BMD) in the femur. a Representative DXA images of femurs of the 3 M model mice, along with a quantitative graph of BMD. b Similarly, DXA images and a BMD graph for the 5 M model mice. c, d Graphs showing the quantification of the levels of serum C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) in serum, a bone resorption marker, in 3 M and 5 M model mice, respectively. Data are presented as mean ± SD. One-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey–Kramer test was applied for group analysis. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, (n = 4). ns: not significant
