Figure Lengend Snippet: COL-I, OCN, OPG and RANKL protein expression levels in each group after 8 weeks of intervention. (A) COL-I, OCN, OPG and RANKL protein expression level of each treatment group. Average optical density of (B) COL-I, (C) OCN, (D) OPG and (E) RANKL in each group. *P<0.05 vs. Ctrl group; # P<0.05 vs. T2DM model group. COL-I, type I collagen; OCN, osteocalcin; OPG, osteoprotegerin; RANKL, receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand; Ctrl, control; T2DM, type 2 diabetes mellitus; ZnC, zinc carnosine; AOD, average optical density value.
Article Snippet: The primary antibodies used and their dilution ratios are as follows: Type I collagen (COL-I; 1:200; cat. no. AF7001; Affinity Biosciences), osteocalcin (OCN, 1:200; cat. no. 16157-1-AP; Proteintech Group, Inc.) and OPG (1:200; cat. no 31766-1-AP; Proteintech Group, Inc.).
