Bioenergetic programs of cancellous and cortical bone are distinct and differ with age and mechanical loading by Carolyn Chlebek, Tyler J. McNeill, Muyin Huang, Maia S. Raynor, Marjolein C. H. van der Meulen

“…To evaluate load-induced changes to bioenergetic activity in young and adult animals, we loaded the tibia of 10-wk and 26-wk female C57BL/6J mice and examined transcriptomic responses at the mid-diaphysis, and metaphyseal cortical shell and cancellous core. Across all biological processes, oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial pathways were most often enriched with loading and had contrasting enrichment in young and adult animals. …”
