skeleton
• bone volume to tissue volume is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
• however, the number of bone forming and bone resorbing cells is normal
|
• expression of differentiation markers in osteocytes of the proximal tibia secondary spongiosa trabeculae is increased compared to in wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit an increase in the number of osteocytes per area in the trabeculae of the secondary spongiosa of the proximal tibia compared to in wild-type mice
|
• trabecular separation is increased compared to in wild-type mice
|
• trabecular number is lower than in wild-type mice
|
• osteoid surface over bone surface is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit lower mean osteoid thickness compared with wild-type mice
|
• bone volume to tissue volume is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
|
• mineral apposition rates is decreased compared to in wild-type mice
• mineralization volume over bone volume is increased while mineralization lag time is decreased compared to in wild-type mice
• after 2 weeks after reaching confluency, cultured primary osteoblasts show more mineralization matrix deposition compared with similarly treated wild-type cells
|
• bone formation rate is decreased compared to in wild-type mice
