Hyperemia precedes porosity after disuse in roosters; hypothesis-generating for vascular mechanisms in human disuse osteopenia.
Does disuse induce bone hyperemia before increasing intracortical porosity in adult male roosters?
In an avian model, disuse induces bone hyperemia prior to an increase in intracortical porosity.
Gross et al. (1999) studied this question.
