Bone density at three different ages and structural femur properties of female C57BL/6J mice. A bone density in g cm−3 at the age of 340, 501 and 664 days of animals in CON housing (black), ENR housing (light blue) and SNE housing (green) with respective p values from post hoc Tukey (A left and right) and Wilcoxon (A middle) test. B—E–parameters were measured after perfusion at an age of 670 days in CON housing (black, ENR housing (light blue) and SNE housing (green). B cortical thickness in µm with respective p values from post hoc Tukey test. C femur bone volume per tissue volume in % with respective p values from post hoc Tukey test. femur midshaft outer diameter in mm with respective p values from post hoc Tukey test. D femur length in mm with respective p values from post hoc Tukey test. E femur midshaft outer diameter in mm with respective p values from post hoc Tukey test
