Intake and growth histories modulate bone morphology, microarchitecture, and mineralization in juvenile green turtles (<i>Chelonia mydas</i>)

In this study, we investigated the effects of food restriction and subsequent realimentation and compensatory growth on bone structure in juvenile green turtles (<i>Chelonia mydas</i>). Turtles were fed ad libitum food for 12 weeks (AL), restricted food for 12 weeks (R), or restricted food for 5 weeks followed by ad libitum food for 7 weeks (R-AL). After the 12^th week, gross morphology (GM), microarchitecture, and mineralization of the right humerus of each turtle were analyzed.
