Alveolar bone absorption and the expression of TH in the periodontal tissue. After applying the ligatures for 30 days, alveolar bone absorption around the maxillary first molars was detected, and G3 was found to be more severely affected than G2 (a). TH levels in local tissues were monitored by immunocytochemistry. The hyperchromatic areas in the periodontal ligament cells and the macrophage cytoplasm show the increased expression of TH resulting from the CS treatment (b). *compared with G1 P<0.01, #compared with G2 P<0.05. Scale bar=100 μm.
