• tibia show a decrease in osteoclast-covered bone surface
• however, osteoclast number and osteoblast-covered surface and number are unaltered
|
• trabecular bone volume is increased in lumbar spine of females
|
• males exhibit decreased cortical porosity in femurs while females exhibit increased cortical porosity in femurs
• however, trabecular bone is unaffected
|
• trabecula number is increased in lumbar spine of females
|
• trabecular separation in lumbar spine of females is decreased
|
• trabecular thickness is increased in lumbar spine of females
|
• tibial endocortical bone surface shows an increase in endosteal mineralizing surface
|
• trabecular bone surface of vertebral bodies shows a decrease in mineralizing surface and bone formation rate
• however, biomechanical properties of femurs are similar to controls
