Mean mid-shaft tibial cross-sectional contours for control and homocysteine (hCySH)-treated animals. hCySH-treated cortical bone is asymmetric with an eccentric medullary cavity. Its greater thickness on one side of the X axis was also noticeable on radiographs (Figure. 4B). A: anterior cortex of tensile side; P: posterior cortex of compressive side; MC: medullary cavity; ____ periosteal cortical bone - - - - - endosteal cortical bone. Bar = 1 mm.
