Caption

Microcomputed tomography (microCT) reconstructions of the spinal column, pelvis, knee, femur, and tibia of a wild-type (GR+/+) and an affected Akr1a1^{Gt(OST222400)Lex}/Akr1a1^{Gt(OST222400)Lex} (GR-/-) (189-day-old female). Carcasses were scanned at 36 um in a Scanco microCT 40 with a threshold value of 240. Note the mineral disappearance in the mutant bones as compared with the wild-type and dissolution of the patella and numerous fractures (arrows) in the long bones.
