Cortical quantitative histomorphometric parameters from femur mid-diaphysis cross-sections collected from female C57BL/6J mice (77-days-old at euthanasia). Mice were assigned to one of five groups (n=12/group): Baseline, Ground Control with Vehicle (phosphate-buffered saline), Ground Control with Osteoprotegerin (OPG-Fc; 20 mg/kg), Spaceflight with Vehicle, and Spaceflight with OPG-Fc. The duration of microgravity exposure during spaceflight was 12 days. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. 2-way-ANOVA differences are presented. Significant differences within Loading (Ground vs. Spaceflight) or Drug (Vehicle vs. OPG-Fc) were tested by a Tukey follow-up test (significance set at P<0.05). Loading (L) indicates a significant difference between Ground and Spaceflight within Vehicle or OPG-Fc; Drug (D) indicates a significant difference between Vehicle and OPG-Fc within Ground Control or Spaceflight.
