Groups are identified by letters a–i and o; superscripts denote differences from groups to right. All groups are labeled “o” when different from Veh-Veh-Veh.

Ec.Lm.B.Ar = Endocortical lamellar bone area

Ec.Md.Pm/B.Pm = Endocortical mineralizing surface

A total of 8 observations were identified as outliers and excluded from the analyses: 1) one from the PTH-Ral-Ral group in the analysis of Ec.MS/BS; 2) one from the PTH-Veh-Veh group in the analysis of Lamellar (as % of Ct.Ar); 3) one from the Aln-Aln-Aln group in the analysis of Ct.Ar; 4) one from the PTH-Aln-Veh group in the analysis of Ct.Th; 5) one from the Aln-Aln-Aln group in the analysis of AED; 6) one from the Ral-PTH-Ral in the analysis of estimated failure load; 7) one from the Aln-Veh-Aln in the analysis of estimated failure load; 8) one from the Aln-Veh-Aln group in the analysis of %Load carried by Ct Bone.
