Mineralization was determined by histopathologic examination of H&E-stained tissue sections.

^∗P < 0.01 versus group A (Abcc6^+/+, control diet).

^†P < 0.05, ^‡P < 0.01 versus group C (Abcc6^−/−, control diet).

^§P < 0.01 versus group G (Abcc6^−/−, acceleration diet without W/K₁ supplementation).
