  1. Note: BV/TV is bone volume fraction; Tb.N is trabecular number; Tb.Wi is trabecular width; Tb.Sp is trabecular separation; O.Wi is osteoid width; OS/BS is osteoid surface; OV/BV is osteoid volume; Ob.S/BS is osteoblast surface; N.Ob/BS is osteoblast number; Oc.S/BS is osteoclast surface; N.Oc/BS is osteoclast number; N.Ot/Bar is number of osteocytes per bone area. Difference % = (AIS − control)/(control) %.
