• primary osteoblasts show inhibition of differentiation in culture upon induction with BMP-2
|
• osteoblast surface per bone surface is lower in calvaria but the osteoblast number per bone perimeter is not altered indicating that bone development is delayed in calvarias because osteoblasts are less active
|
• calvarial area and density are reduced
|
• calvarial fontanels are less closed and the bones are less dense
|
• femurs are less developed on P3
|
• calvarial density is reduced
