Figure 1. Compression force curves measured in femurs of rats fed the experimental diets. The solid line is the loading force, and the dashed line is the unloading force. The gray area under the curve is the elastic work and the white area is the plastic work behavior of the bone material. CD: control diet. RCD: raw corn diet. COMTD: commercial tortilla diet. TTD: traditional tortilla diet. ETD: ecological tortilla diet
