μCT Analyses of Cortical Bone in Tibia
| Group | BV (mm3) | TV (mm3) | BV/TV (%) | Cortical Th (mm)a |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicle | 0.74 ± 9.133 | 1.1 ± 0.19 | 0.65 ± 0.015 | 0.25 ± 0.009 |
| PTH | 0.80 ± 0.078 | 1.13 ± 0.0087 | 0.70 ± 0.0052 | 0.27 ± 0.006 |
| DCA | 0.71 ± 0.13 | 1.057 ± 0.185 | 0.67 ± 0.019 | 0.26 ± 0.02 |
| PTH+DCA | 0.78 ± 0.14 | 1.17 ± 0.19 | 0.65 ± 0.029 | 0.26 ± 0.017 |
Values are mean ± SD. No statistical significance detected by ANOVA for PTH, DCA, or DCA-PTH interaction effect.
BV = bone volume; TV = total volume; Cortical Th = cortical thickness; DCA = dichloroacetate.
