Table 2. Changes in cortical parameters in the distal femur diaphysis from wild type and Igf1-null mice, treated or untreated with PTHrP (1–36) or osteostatin.
Cortical bone | WT | WT+Nt | WT+Ost | Igf1-null | Igf1-null +Nt | Igf1-null +Ost |
T.Ar. (mm2) | 0.75±0.01 | 0.87±0.03* | 0.87±0.01* | 0.27±0.01* | 0.31±0.03 | 0.24±0.01 |
Ct.Th. (µm) | 204.5±4.3 | 223.8±1.4* | 222.2±4.0* | 130.1±6.5* | 126.8±7.7 | 117.0±2.7 |
J (mm4) | 0.26±0.01 | 0.32±0.02* | 0.34±0.01* | 0.03±0.01* | 0.05±0.01 | 0.03±0.01 |
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).
