T.Ar, total area; Ct.Th, cortical thickness; J, polar moment of inertia. Nt, PTHrP (1–36); Ost, osteostatin. Values are mean±SEM corresponding to 2 males and 4 females for PTHrP-treated mice or 3 males and 3 females for vehicle-treated mice of each genotype, respectively. Kruskall-Wallis was used to compare differences among all groups, and Mann-Whitney test for comparison between 2 groups. *p<0.05 vs vehicle-treated wild type (WT).
