Bone histomorphometry of the tibiae of mice maintained on a normal or low calcium diet.

	Normal-Ca	Low-Ca
BV/TV (%)	11.67±0.47	9.03±0.62*
No/BS	7.19±0.23	9.33±0.35*

BV/TV: Bone volume % tissue volume.

N.Oc/BS: Osteoclast number per mm bone surface.

Oc.S/BS: Osteoclast surface % bone surface.

Ob.S/BS: Osteoblast surface % bone surface.
