(A, B) Csf1 CKOAdipoq mice have normal body weight (A) and femoral length (B) at 1, 3, and 6 months of age. n=5–7 mice/group. (C) Tooth eruption is also normal in CKO mice at 1 month of age. (D) qRT-PCR analysis of Csf1 mRNA in bone marrow and cortical bone of control (Ctrl) and Csf1 CKOAdipoq mice at 3 months of age. n=3–6 mice/group. (E) 3D microCT reconstruction of femoral secondary spongiosa region from 1-, 3-, and 6-month-old mice reveals a drastic increase of trabecular bone in female Csf1 CKOAdipoq mice compared to control mice. Scale bar = 100 µm. (F) MicroCT measurement of trabecular bone structural parameters. BV/TV: bone volume fraction; BMD: bone mineral density; Tb.N: trabecular number; Tb.Th: trabecular thickness; Tb.Sp: trabecular separation; SMI: structural model index. n=4–8 mice/group. *, p<0.05; **, p,0.01; ***, p<0.001 CKO vs control.
