• in vertebral cancellous bone at 12 weeks of age
|
• 17beta-estradiol has no effect on osteoclast apoptosis unlike in wild-type mice
|
• after ovariectomy mice lose cortical bone mass but not cancellous bone mass
|
• increase in the number of osteoclasts in vertebral cancellous bone at 12 weeks of age
• at 28 weeks of age, but not at 12 weeks, bone mass is reduced, trabecular width is decreased, and trabecular separation is increased in vertebral cancellous bone
|
• the number of osteoclast progenitors is increased 2 fold at 12 weeks of age
