Are sex differences in trabecular bone microarchitecture detected in pre and early pubertal children using magnetic resonance imaging?
The findings suggest that there are no differences in measures of trabecular bone microarchitecture at the distal femur of pre and early pubertal boys and girls who are similar in size, physical activity and calcium intake. Future studies with larger sample sizes that cover all pubertal stages are needed to determine if sex differences in trabecular bone microarchitecture emerge at the distal femur and other weight bearing bone sites.
The combination of T7 phage display and trinucleotide cassette randomization resulted in a novel resource for the potential isolation of binding peptides for new and previously studied molecular targets.
