Serum ALP and Skeletal Traits of B6 Background and B6.D2.Ch4 Congenic Mice

B6 background (n=40; 20F/20M) B6.D2.Ch4 congenic (n=39; 20F/19M) p value
Serum ALP activity (U/L) 60±5 142±12 <0.0001
Femoral bone traits
  BMD (mg/cm2) 54.6±1.0 58.8±0.7 <0.005
  Cortical thickness (µm) 158±2 169±1 <0.0005
  Ultimate failure load (N) 14.5 ±0.5 17.3 ±0.8 <0.01

ALP=alkaline phosphatase; BMD= bone mineral density; F = female; M=male.
