From: Influences of obese (ob/ob) and diabetes (db/db) genotype mutations on lumber vertebral radiological and morphometric indices: Skeletal deformation associated with dysregulated systemic glucometabolism

Figure 2

Representation of average lumber vertebral column (VC) lengths, as well as individual lumber vertebrae (LV) length and width indices, are denoted for control (+/?), obese (ob/ob) and diabetes (db/db) mutant genotypes as groups means (± SEM) at 8 and 16 weeks of age. Significant (P ≤ 0.05) intergroup differences (i.e., control v.s. genotype mutant type) at each designed age are denoted by asterisks (*). Age-dependent (i.e., 8 v.s. 16 week values for the same genotype) intragroup differences are denoted by #.
