Mineral and Skeletal Homeostasis Influence the Manner of Bone Loss in Metabolic Osteoporosis due to Calcium-Deprived Diet in Different Sites of Rat Vertebra and Femur

<div>Scans showing bone histology of the transversal sections of the 5th lumbar vertebral body of all animal groups. Group 1: baseline; Group 2: control, normal diet; Group 3: calcium-deprived diet for 4 weeks; Group 4: calcium-deprived diet, plus concomitant administration of PTH (1-34) 40 <i>μ</i>g/kg/day, for 4 weeks. Scale bar: 500 <i>μ</i>m.</div>
