Femur and lumbar vertebrae (LV1-LV6) measurements after 60 days.

	7S	19S	19C
Femur:
Mass, mg	355.1±22a	444.8±10.3b	444.2±9.4b
Distance between epiphysis, mm	31.5±0.6	31.9±0.3	31.9±0.3
Width of the diaphysis, mm	3.2±0.1a	3.25 ±0.1a,b	3.51±0.1b
Lumbar vertebrae:
Mass, mg	613.8±24.8a	689.7±11b	681.9±17.4b
Maximum length, mm	37.7±0.4a	39.9±0.3b	39.5±0.4b

The post-weaning groups were fed a control diet (7S; n = 12) or a high-fat diet containing soybean (19S; n = 12) or canola oil (19C; n = 12) until they were 60 days old.

^a,bThe mean values within a row with dissimilar superscripts are significantly different (one-way ANOVA; p<0.05).
