Changes in mineral characteristics due to increased remodelling related to pregnancy and lactation in WT and HYP mice. (a) The FOBC in the bone specimens, calculated using the 002 ring intensity associated with oriented and random crystals. (b) The angular breadth of the 002 arc from 2D-XRD patterns, indicating the degree of crystal alignment with the long axis of the bone specimen. (c) FWHM measured from the 002 and 310 reflections in the 1D-XRD patterns for oriented and random crystal populations. Error bars show the variation expected in the values based on multiple measurements of different pregnant mouse specimens. |
