Scanning electron microscopic examination of rat femur. Control group [A, B] A Branching and anastomosing bone trabeculae and osteocyte lacunae. B Collagen fibers are seen on the surface of bone trabecula. Osteocyte lacuna. ketamine treated group (C): Collagen fibers are seen on the surface of bone trabecula. Osteocyte lacunae (↑) are also seen. Tamoxifen treated group [D, E]: D A small crack is seen on the surface of bone trabecula. Osteocyte lacunae. E Collagen fibers on the bone surface. [F–H] Risperidone treated group (F) A crack is seen in a bone trabecula. G Thin tapering and fractured bone trabecula are seen. H Disturbed and disorganized collagen arrangement are seen on the surface of bone. [I, J] Combination treated group: I A crack is seen on the surface of bone. J Localized area of loss of collagen fibers
