a Macroscopic images, b femur length, c mean relative wall thickness (MRWT), and d cross-sectional area of cortical rat femora. Although there was no significant difference in between euglycemic and STZ groups in the measured parameters at 1 month, femur length, cross-sectional area, and MRWT of cortical rat femora were remarkably lower in STZ group compared with euglycemic controls (two-way ANOVA and post-hoc Newman–Keuls, mean ± SD, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, and ****p < 0.0001, n = 6 animals).
