Volumetric analysis of the vertebral body of the L3 lumbar vertebra. (a) Histomorphometry of the vertebrae. The trabecular bone content was reduced in 3-month- old ARΔOB/ΔOB male mice when compared with ARfl/fl mice. This change was indicated as significantly reduced BV/TV, Tb.Th and Tb.N and increased Tb.Sp. The N.Oc/B.Pm and Oc.S/BS values were significantly elevated in 3-month- old ARΔOB/ΔOB male mice when compared with ARfl/fl mice. N=6 mice per group. (b) Volumetric analysis of trabecular bone of L3 lumbar vertebra in 6-month-old female mice with μCT. The Tb.N was highly reduced leading to a wider Tb.Sp and reduced Tb.BV in ARΔOB/ΔOB mice compared with ARfl/fl mice (n=7 per group). *P<0.05; **P<0.01. Data are represented as means±s.e.m.
