Fig. 2. Symphyseal cortical bone thickness. Coronal sections of `middle' joint sites from U-diet (A) and O-diet (B) subadult rabbits obtained via microCT. Comparisons of three size-adjusted measures of internal joint proportions indicate that O-diet rabbits develop significantly thicker cortical bone along the superior, lateral and articular surfaces of the symphysis (red lines with double arrowheads) (see Table 2).
