Micro computed tomographic (μCT) analysis of knee joints from rats treated with monoiodoacetic acid (MIA) in trial 2 (n = 5). Vehicle ipsilateral is the injured joint, and vehicle contralateral is the untreated control joint, of the vehicle-treated animal. Comparison of joints analyzed by μCT from five animals of each group in MIA trial 2. Note that only four knees from the clonidine group were analyzed. a Relative bone volume fraction (bone volume/total volume). b Connectivity density (1/mm3). c Trabecular thickness (distance in millimeters). d Trabecular spacing (distance in millimeters). One-way analysis of variance was used to look for differences between groups. If p ≤ 0.05, then Bonferroni’s post hoc test was performed to identify significant differences between groups
