Trabecular indices, including TV, BV, BV/TV, Tb. Th., Tb. Sp., Tb. N., SMI, and Conn. D., and the cortical indices Co. Th. and Co. Vol. were computed from μCT scans. The data are presented as the mean ± SD of 8 mice per group. Percentage change between WT and KO mice is indicated as “% change.” Asterisks indicate significantly different results (P ≤ .05).
