Sizes of the skeletal system for mice lacking Lrp5 in osteocytes and littermate control (16 week old) including an appendicular and axial skeleton. (A) Radiograph of a littermate control (Lrp5f/f with Dmp1-Cre−). (B) Radiograph of a mouse lacking Lrp5 in osteocytes (Lrp5f/f with Dmp1-Cre+). The trace of femur as an appendicular skeleton and lumbosacral (L1 to S5 or spine to pelvis bone) as an axial skeleton is indicated in the red curve. White scale bars, 10 mm in (AB). (C) Graph depicting comparison of the appendicular skeleton by measuring length of the long bone (femoral) in the littermate control and KO mice. (D) Graph depicting comparison of the axial skeleton by measuring length of the lumbosacral spine line, L1 to S5, in the littermate control and KO mice. n=9 for control and n=5 for KO mice. The error bars denote means ± s.e.m. The asterisk,*, indicates p < 0.05.
