Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Structure-function relationships were determined for L(5) vertebral bodies from three inbred mouse strains. Genetic variability in whole bone mechanical properties could be explained by a combination of the traits specifying the amount, distribution, and quality of the cortical and trabecular bone tissue. INTRODUCTION: Although phenotypically correlated with fracture, BMD may be disadvantageous to use...
