A) Indentation modulus increases with distance from the periosteal surface. Modulus increases with distance in sham mice as bone tissue matures until a plateau is reached 20 μm from the periosteal surface. Modulus is initially lower and matures more slowly with 5/6 Nx. B) Mean and standard error for indentation modulus at each row. Within each treatment group, measures that do not share a letter subscript are significantly different. Significance was set at family-wise α of 0.05. Error bars indicate standard error of the mean.

Indentation modulus measured at 20 μm increments from the periosteal surface.
