Figure 2

Cortical bone analysis. The figure shows the trochanteric cross section of proximal femur of Sprague-Dawley rat, cut 15 mm distal from the capitis femoris. We measured the bone diameter (B.DM) and the marrow diameter (Ma.Dm) on the ventrodorsal axis (the line perpendicular to the middle of the mediolateral axis) of the cross section.
