From: Dietary resistant starch alleviates Escherichia coli-induced bone loss in meat ducks by promoting short-chain fatty acid production and inhibiting Malt1/NF-κB inflammasome activation

Fig. 6

Both dietary RS and lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (Malt1) inhibitor MI-2 attenuate E. coli-induced bone loss related to lower bone turnover. Bone quality was indicated by (a) tibia ash, (b) bone volume/total volume (BV/TV) of proximal tibia, and (c) strength. d The proximal tibias was stained using tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining (Bar = 100 μm), subsequently (e) the number of osteoclast (N.Oc/BS) in tibial sections determined by histomorphometry. Circulating bone turnover markers (f) TRAP activity, (g) C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (CTx) concentration, (h) alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and (i) procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) were quantified. Data are expressed as mean and standard deviation. a-cMean values with different letters are significantly different by one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s post hoc test (P < 0.05)
