AB  - Pseudopurpurin improves bone strength, structure and metabolic 
  function in 18 months old red-boned goats in previous experiment. The objective 
  of the study was to evaluate whether the greater pseudopurpurin deposition would 
  result in better bone mechanical properties, geometry and architecture in red-boned 
  goats with age. Bone mineral density, geometry, architecture and mechanical 
  properties were analyzed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, micro-computed 
  tomography and materials-testing. The results showed that bone mineral densities, 
  the micro-structural parameters and mechanical properties of the distal femur 
  and femoral diaphysis in red-boned goats were not significantly different from 
  common goats at 6 months of age. At 12 months of age, the micro-structural parameters 
  and mechanical properties of the distal femur were better in red-boned than 
  in common goats, the marrow area, cortical area and total area of the femoral 
  diaphysis in red-boned goats were significantly different from common goats. 
  The findings suggest that the pseudopurpurin was initially deposited in the 
  cancellous bone and then in the cortical bone of the red-boned goats thus, the 
  changes in bone parameters were seen earlier in the cancellous bone than the 
  cortical bone. Both the pseudopurpurin deposit and the geometry and strength 
  of the femur increased with age in red-boned goats.
