Figure 6
Effect of SR treatment on intrinsic bone mechanical properties. (A) Representative nanoindentation load-displacement curve from the subchondral trabecula. The elastic modulus (Er) and hardness (H) of the tissue at the point of indention was calculated following the method of Oliver and Pharr. (B and C) Analysis of Er and H. n=8 per group. Mean±SD. bP<0.05, cP<0.01 vs Sham/NS group. eP<0.05, fP<0.01 vs MMT/NS group.
