From: Enhanced cortical bone expansion in Lgals3-deficient mice during aging
a Femoral volume of interest is indicated. Representative femoral trabecular bone volumes of 36 wk old female and male mice, as observed by µCT. Average ± S.E.M at indicated time points for bone volume fraction (BV/TV) for female c and male d mice. Scatterplots from histomorphometry analyses of L3 vertebrae including number of osteoblast per bone surface (N.Ob/BS; e), number of osteoclasts per bone surface (N.Oc/BS; f), osteoid surface per bone surface (OS/BS; g), and mineralized surface per bone surface (MS/BS; h). F, Female; M, Male. Asterisks indicate a significant difference, *P < 0.05.
