    AbstractTrabecular bone remodeling values of the right and left iliac crest and lumbar vertebrae in cats were quantitated histomorphometrically and were compared. Healthy cats were given calcein (n = 2) or oxytetracycline (n = 2) twice for double-labeling of bone. Static and dynamic variables of bone resorption and formation were determined. Bone remodeling variables between right and left iliac crest were not significantly different (P less than 0.05). Significant differences (P less than or equal to 0.05) were not detected between values of iliac crest and lumbar vertebrae except in the percentage of osteoid surface. Percentage of osteoid surface was significantly (P less than or equal to 0.05) increased in the iliac crest compared with that in the vertebral body. Although not significantly different, values for bone formation were generally greater in the iliac crest than in the vertebral body. In healthy cats, values of trabecular bone remodeling were comparable between right and left iliac crest, and also were comparable between iliac crests and lumbar vertebrae.
