Soft tissue mineralization of Abcc6^−/− mice fed different diets

DIET*	MINERALIZATION IN SOFT TISSUES†
	VIBRISSAE	KIDNEYS	EYES	HEART
Normal	6/6	0/6	1/6	0/6
Experimental	6/6	6/6	1/6	3/6
Renagel	6/6	1/6	0/6	1/6

^*Abcc6^−/− animals were fed the diet indicated (for details see Materials and Methods) for 8 weeks beginning at the age of 3 weeks.

^†Number of mice with tissue mineralization/total number of mice examined in each group, as determined by histopathologic examination of H&E stained tissue sections.
