skeleton
• reduction in trabecular bone volume fraction at 12 weeks of age
|
• reduction in trabecular numbers at 12 weeks of age
|
• increase in osteoid thickness and osteoid maturation time in 6 week old mice, suggesting of a defect in the mineralization process
|
• increase in the mineral:matrix ratio, indicating an accumulation of unmineralized bone matrix
• matrix mineralization is increased in osteoblast cultures
|
• assessment of cortical bone strength suggests that bones re more brittle at 12 weeks of age, with ultimate displacement and energy to failure reduced in bones
• however, parameters of cortical bone structure are not affected
