Abstract excerpt
Genetics can substantially influence bone morphology and may define the skeleton's response to mechanical unloading. Recent data indicated that disuse produces different site-specific responses in the skeleton of genetically distinct adult female C3H/HeJ (C3H) and BALB/cByJ (BALB) mice; while disuse BALB mice had significantly less bone than age-matched controls in the distal and diaphyseal femur, the removal of...
