Suppressed osteoclast differentiation at the chondro-osseous junction mediates endochondral ossification retardation in long bones of Wistar fetal rats with prenatal ethanol exposure
Glucocorticoid but not ethanol enhanced the expression of OPG in chondrocytes.
•
PEE reduced osteoclast differentiation relative with over-expression of OPG.
•
PEE inhibited endochondral ossification in fetal long bones of rats.
•
Endochondral ossification delay is regarded as the thrifty phenotype induced by PEE.
