WSE impairs the fusion of preosteoclasts. A Based on the exposure schedule, the BMMs were cultured with WSE (3 µg/mL) for various times periods in the presence of M-CSF (30 ng/mL) and RANKL (10 ng/mL). B The cells were stained with TRAP solution. C TRAP activity was measured, and D TRAP-positive MNCs were counted as osteoclasts. Each exposure period of WSE was indicated as “0–4” for the vehicle. “0–1” for 0–1 d, “1–2” for 1–2 d, “2–3” for 2–3 d, and “3–4” for 3–4 d. ### < 0.001 versus the control; * < 0.05, ** < 0.01 versus the RANKL-treated group
