  • Abstract
    Non-enzymatic glycation (NEG) is associated with bone fragility. Microarchitecture and microdamage are also shown to influence bone´s mechanical properties, but it is unknown if NEG affects their alterations. Here, we show that NEG deteriorates bone´s mechanical properties and is also correlated with these two bone quality components.
