  		Figure 1. Diabetes prolongs osteoclast formation and activity. Ligatures were placed around the molar teeth of ZDF type 2 diabetic and normoglycemic control rats and left in place for 7 days. Rats were killed prior to the placement of ligatures (no ligatures), immediately after removal (0 day), or 4 or 9 days later. Histologic TRAP-stained sections, original magnification 200x. Large open arrows indicate osteoclasts, large closed arrows indicate Howship’s lacunae, small closed arrows point to a reversal line, and small open arrows point to the extent of new bone formation (A). Osteoclasts were counted (B), and the percent eroded bone surface (C) was measured in TRAP-stained sections. Each value in B and C is the mean of 5 to 7 rats ± SE. *Significant difference between diabetics and normoglycemic control rats (P < 0.05). Bar in far left panel represents 0.05 mm.

  		Figure 2. Diabetes impaired new bone formation and increased osteoblastic apoptosis. The area of new bone formation (A) was measured in TRAP-stained sections as described in MATERIALS & METHODS. The area of alveolar bone between the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) and a line 1 mm apical to the CEJ was measured in H&E-stained sections (B). Rats described in Fig. 1Go were examined for the percent of apoptotic bone-lining cells by the TUNEL assay (C) and the number of bone-lining cells per mm bone length in H&E-stained sections (D). Each value is the mean of 5 to 7 rats ± SE. *Significant difference between diabetics and normoglycemic control rats (P < 0.05).

  		Figure 3. Diabetes increases the loss of attachment, increases apoptosis of PDL fibroblasts, and decreases PDL fibroblast numbers. Rats described in Fig. 1Go were examined for loss of attachment in H&E-stained sections (A) and for the number of fibroblasts in the coronal aspect of the PDL space (C). Apoptosis of PDL fibroblasts was determined by the TUNEL assay and expressed as the percent of apoptotic fibroblasts (B). Each value is the mean of 5 to 7 rats ± SE. *Significant difference between diabetics and normoglycemic control rats (P < 0.05).
