FIG. 4.

Bone volume fraction, as measured in vivo by low-resolution μCT, indicated that LMMS increased bone volume fraction across the entire torso of the animal (A). After death, high-resolution CT of the proximal tibia indicated a significant increase in trabecular bone density (B). Body mass of the animal at death was used as a covariate in the statistical analysis. Compared with controls (C), representative μCT reconstructions of the proximal tibia indicate the enhanced morphological properties of LMMS animals.
