Representative FT-IRIS spectra from the mineralized region of tissues from Abcc6−/− mice of varying ages. A. Three months, vibrissae; spectral absorbance typical of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP). B. Six months, vibrissae; spectral absorbance typical of poorly crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA). C. Twenty four months vibrissae; spectral absorbance typical of poorly crystalline HA. D. Twenty four months, blood vessels in heart; spectral absorbance typical of poorly crystalline HA. E. Twenty four months, blood vessels in kidney; spectral absorbance typical of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP).
