Mesoscopic-apparent mechanical properties of L3 in different groups of rats at 4-week and 8-week CSII treatments. A Average von Mises stress of cancellous bone. B Apparent elastic modulus. C Apparent yield stress. D Percentage of trabecular bone yielded. * P < 0.05, T2D vs Control; # P < 0.05, CSII vs T2D; & P < 0.05, Placebo vs Control; a P < 0.05, Control (8 weeks) vs Control (4 weeks); c P < 0.05, T2D (8 weeks) vs T2D (4 weeks)
