Bone Structural, Biomechanical and Histomorphometric Characteristics of the Postcranial Skeleton of the Marsh Rice Rat (Oryzomys palustris)

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: The rice rat (Oryzomys palustris) is a non-conventional laboratory rodent species used to model some human bone disorders. However, no studies have been conducted to characterize the postcranial skeleton. Therefore, we aimed to investigate age- and gender-related features of the appendicular skeleton of this species. METHODS: We used femurs and tibiae from 94 rats of both genders aged 4-28 wks. Bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), and biomechanical properties were determined i… Show more
