Figure 1.
Enhanced mineralization in the dermal sheath of vibrissae and in the aorta, eyes, heart, and kidneys of Abcc6−/− mice fed the experimental W/K1 diet (group D), compared with Abcc6−/− mice kept on the control diet (group C). Mineral deposits (arrows) were visualized by H&E, Alizarin Red (AR), and von Kossa (VK) stains. For vibrissae and aorta, images in the right column correspond to the boxed regions in the center column, at higher magnification (×300). Original magnification: ×100 (vibrissae, aorta, heart); ×150 (eye, kidney).
