Abstract excerpt
Ob/ob and db/db mice have different aberrations in leptin signaling that both lead to abnormalities in bone mineral density (BMD), and bone histological and histomorphometric outcomes. A few studies have directly compared bone metabolism in ob/ob and db/db mice, and biomechanical strength properties that are surrogate measures of fracture risk, have not been extensively studied. This study compared bone mineral...
