L4 vertebrae (without endplates) and right ulnae (15-mm long region from the mid-shaft) from lean control rats, obese non-diabetic rats, and diabetic obese rats. Bones were scanned with micro-CT prior to mechanical testing, and the scans were then used to create high-resolution finite element models. Mineral density-shaded cross-sections from obese rats and those with diabetes illustrate differences in bone geometry and trabecular microarchitecture compared to those from lean controls.
