Figure 3. ISH images of MMP-8 (Mmp-8) and MMP-13 (Mmp-13) from control samples (n = 3) and from tension (n = 3) and compression sides (n = 3). A through E and K through O are ISH images of MMP-8, and F through J and P through T are of MMP-13. The two left columns are from controls and from the tension side; the two right columns are from the compression side. Arrowheads indicate the positive signals. Original magnification: x200. Bar in T = 150 µm. K and P indicate the hyalinized tissue in the highly compressed area, and L and Q indicate non-hyalinized tissue. AB, alveolar bone; CEM, cementum; PDL, periodontal ligament; HY, hyalinized tissue; OC, osteoclast; and BV, blood vessel.
