endocrine/exocrine glands
• hyperparathyroidism
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• parathyroid hormone levels are elevated even more than in single homozygous Vdr mutants
|
skeleton
short tibia
(
J:218709
)
• reduction in tibia length
|
• decrease in total body bone mineral density and in femur and spine bone mineral density
• bone loss is exaggerated at all sites compared to single homozygous Vdr mutants
|
• disorganized growth plate
|
• aberrant skeletal growth

• reduction in tibia length

integument
N |
• mice show full rescue of the alopecia that is seen in single homozygous Vdr mutants and mice are able to initiate hair growth after depilation
• mice exhibit normal epidermal morphology complete with the presence of hair follicles
