Adaptation of Bone in Response to External Stress

The score images showed a significant overlap between the two factors. However, in an 18-month-old mouse, only one normal mineral factor was observed after fracture, either because aging might prevent mineral phase transformations, or because the damage did not propagate far enough to be observed. 

Other studies have produced apparently conflicting results on the relationship between local composition and microcrack formation [56, 57]. In 2005, Akkus and coworkers used Raman microspectroscopy and human male femurs to examine 

However, with synchrotron IR imaging of canine vertebrae, no difference was observed in the mineralization (V4 -500-650 cm ) (amide 11-1510-1595 cm ) 

Pezzotti and coworkers monitored the spectral shift of Raman bands with mechanical loading to examine the in situ response of femoral and cortical bone to external stress [58, 59]. It has been proposed that collagen operates by a
