Mean (±SD) Mechanical Properties for Male and Female Control and ALSKO Mice at 12 Weeks of Age (n = 10/group except for #, where n = 9)

	Stiffness (N/mm)	Maximum Load (N)	PYD (mm)	Work to Failure (N · mm)
Male Control#	116.6 ± 23.2	24.3 ± 3.3a,b	0.76 ± 0.42	22.3 ± 8.4a,b
Male ALSKO	107.7 ± 14.9	21.8 ± 2c	0.42 ± 0.23	14.6 ± 4.6
Female Control	116.4 ± 21.3	19.4 ± 2.9a	0.52 ± 0.54	12.7 ± 8.8a
Female ALSKO	98.5 ± 11.6	17.9 ± 2b,c	0.32 ± 0.10	10.3 ± 2.7b

Note: For a given mechanical property, shared letters indicate that mean values are significantly different (ANOVA, p < .05).
