Figure 5

Mice were fed control diet (CD2) or AOX diet, then irradiated with dual ions (protons, 56Fe) to simulate space radiation. After irradiation (11d), mice were euthanized and tibiae collected then analyzed by microCT. (BV/TV, Panel A), Tb.N (Panel B), Tb.Sp (Panel C) and Tb.Th (Panel D). Data shown are mean + S.D. (n = 10). *indicates p < 0.05 compared to CD2, 0 Gy.
