Figure 3. MT-COMP femurs have reduced cortical bone thickness, increased porosity and inferior extrinsic and intrinsic bone mechanical quality.

Figure 3

A. Femur cortical thickness of C57BL\6 control and MT-COMP at P21, P28 and 16 weeks. B. Femur cortical porosity for C57BL\6 control and MT-COMP at P21 and P28. C. Tibial cortical porosity for C57BL\6 control and MT-COMP at 16 weeks. D. Gray level representation of the bone mineral density shown on cross-sectional images of tibiae from C57BL\6 control and MT-COMP mice at 16 weeks and the corresponding bone mineral density histograms. E. Extrinsic and F. intrinsic mechanical properties of C57BL\6 control and MT-COMP femurs at P28. G. Carbonation content of C57BL\6 control and MT-COMP femurs at P28. Blue bars = C57BL\6 control (C); dark gray bars = MT-COMP (M); pink bars = Chop−/−/MT-COMP (Ch); green bars = MT-COMP treated with resveratrol (R); purple bars = MT-COMP treated with aspirin (A). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
