Table 2.

Histomorphometry and synchrotron source Fourier-transform infrared microspectroscopy descriptive data per estimated sex (four males and four females). SD: standard deviation, min.: minimum data, max.: maximum data, A-P: antero–posterior, M-L: medio-lateral, H.Dn: Haversian canal density per mm², %Po.Ar: percent area of sample impacted by porosity producing trabecularisation.
