Fig. 5: Vascular canal parameters of rat cortical femora.

From: Hyperglycemia compromises Rat Cortical Bone by Increasing Osteocyte Lacunar Density and Decreasing Vascular Canal Volume

a Vascular canal volume per volume of interest (VOI), b mean vascular canal segment volume, c vascular density, d mean vascular canal segment length, and e mean vascular canal segment diameter. Vascular canal volume significantly decreased due to a significant reduction in canal diameter in the femoral cortices of STZ compared with euglycemic group at both 1 month and 3 months (linear regression for a, b, e; two-way ANOVA and post-hoc Newman–Keuls for c, d; mean ± SD, statistical significances (p < 0.05) between the groups are indicated by a–d, n = 6 animals).
