The effects of preservation and sterilization on the structural properties of cortical bone were investigated. Specimens of cortical bone from rat tibiae were frozen (-70Β°C for 28 days), freeze-dried, irradiated (1, 5, 25 and 50 kGy) or autoclaved (at 134Β°C for 3 or 5 rain), and examined by scanning

Sixteen bone blocks from two freshly amputated legs were used to study the effect of CO2 laser on cortical bone. They were divided into two groups. In Group I, the blocks were treated with CO2 laser using 1 mm spot (focused mode). In Group II, they were treated with CO2 laser using 3 mm spot (defocu
## Abstract The physiological role of gonadal androgens in regulating bone metabolism is not established. To determine if androgens antagonize the changes in cortical bone after gonadectomy, we treated orchiectomized (ORX) rats with testosterone (T) and 5Ξ±βdihydrotestosterone (DHT), and ovariectomi
## Abstract We characterized the composition and mechanical properties of cortical bone during maturation and growth and in adult life in the rabbit. We hypothesized that the collagen network develops earlier than the mineralized matrix. Growth was monitored, and the rabbits were euthanized at birt
Background: Artiodactyl and perissodactyl calcanei have been recently introduced as models for examining bone for mechanically mediated adaptation. We have reported substantial regional variations in cortical bone microstructure and mineral content within the same crosssection of mule deer calcanei.
Osteoporotic patients treated with antiresorptive or anabolic agents experience an increase in bone mass and a reduction in incident fractures. However, the effects of these medications on bone quality and strength after a prolonged discontinuation of treatment are not known. We evaluated these effe
