【摘要】 <正>Physical inactivity typically results in increased bone porosity,and decreased skeletal mass,mineral density,and strength,leading to increased fracture risk in many mammals.There are conflicting reports regarding whether small mammals experience bone loss during hibernation.To investigate this phenomenon,we measured cortical,trabecular and mechanical bone properties in physically active and hibernating adult daurian ground squirrels(Spermophilus更多还原
