Figure 2

(A) Left. Appearance of control (Ctrl) and Slc39a14-KO mice (4-weeks-old). Bar indicates 5 cm. Right. Body weights of 4-week-old control (Ctrl) (male, n = 9; female, n = 9), Slc39a14-KO (male, n = 10; female, n = 7), and neonatal (control, n = 22; Slc39a14-KO, n = 14) mice. Data represent the mean ± S.D. (**P<0.01, ***P<0.001). (B) Frontal views (4-week-old) and X-ray radiographs (8-week-old) of a control (Ctrl) and a Slc39a14-KO female mouse. (C) Bone histomorphometric analysis of 4-week-old control (Ctrl) and Slc39a14-KO female mice (n = 5). Data represent the mean ± S.D. (*P<0.05). (D) X-ray radiographs of the femurs (8-week-old), and the tibial length (6-week-old) of control (Ctrl) and Slc39a14-KO mice (n = 5). Data represent the mean ± S.D. (***P<0.001).
