Limited Trabecular Bone Density Heterogeneity in the Human Skeleton
There is evidence for variation in trabecular bone density and volume within an individual skeleton, albeit in a few anatomical sites, which is partly dependent on mechanical loading. However, little is known regarding the basic variation in trabecular bone density throughout the skeleton in healthy human adults. This is because research on bone density has been confined to a few skeletal eleme...
متن کاملRecent origin of low trabecular bone density in modern humans.
Humans are unique, compared with our closest living relatives (chimpanzees) and early fossil hominins, in having an enlarged body size and lower limb joint surfaces in combination with a relatively gracile skeleton (i.e., lower bone mass for our body size). Some analyses have observed that in at least a few anatomical regions modern humans today appear to have relatively low trabecular density,...
متن کاملYield strain behavior of trabecular bone.
If bone adapts to maintain constant strains and if on-axis yield strains in trabecular bone are independent of apparent density, adaptive remodeling in trabecular bone should maintain a constant safety factor (yield strain/functional strain) during habitual loading. To test the hypothesis that yield strains are indeed independent of density, compressive (n = 22) and tensile (n = 22) yield strai...
متن کاملRelationships between structure, density and strength of human trabecular bone.
The article deals with the examination of the relationships between density, structure parameters and strength of human trabecular bone. The tests were carried out on the samples taken from osteoporotic and coxarthrotic human femoral heads. The samples cylindrical in shape had the diameters of 10 mm and the height of 8.5 mm. During the tests with microCT scanner the parameters of a sample struc...
متن کاملLow Density High Density
Mouse 3T3 cells and their Simian Virus 40-transformed derivatives (3T3SV) were used to assess the relationship of transformation, cell density, and growth control to the cellular distribution of newly synthesized glycosaminoglycan (GAG). Glucosamineand galactosamine-containing G A G were labeled equivalently by [all]glucose regardless of culture type, allowing incorporation into the various G A...
