• mice exhibit enhanced osteoclast formation as indicated by upregulation of osteoclastogenic genes
• osteoclast precursors exhibit increased osteoclast differentiation
|
• mice exhibit an increase in multi-nucleated TRAP-positive osteoclasts
• however, no difference in the number of osteoblasts is seen

osteoporosis
(
J:317012
)
• mice exhibit an osteoporotic phenotype in the trabecular bone of the tibia, calvaria, and lumbar
• low bone mass is caused by bone resorption due to enhanced osteoclast formation
|
• the area of the calvarial bone marrow cavity, an index of bone resorption activity, and the level of urinary deoxypyridinoline, a marker of bone resorption, are increased
|
growth/size/body
• slight decrease in body weight
• however, all other appearances including body size, tooth eruption, locomotor activity and bone-related parameters in the serum are normal
