Temporal Changes of Microarchitectural and Mechanical Parameters of Cancellous Bone in the Osteoporotic Rabbit

Figure 4

Overview of the microstructural parameters of L5 and femoral condyles. Structural parameters of vertebrae were (a) BV/TV, (b) Tb.N, (c) Tb.Th, (d) Tb.Sp, (e) SMI, and (f) BS/BV. Structural parameters of femoral condyles were (g) BV/TV, (h) Tb.N, (i) Tb.Th, (j) Tb.Sp, (k) SMI, and (l) BS/BV. Asterisks showed the statistically significant difference between OP group and sham group at the same time point. Transverse lines with asterisks above showed the differences in OP group among different time points. .
