PKU genotype decreases femoral strength (maximum load) and ductility (post yield displacement) compared with WT genotype (A). Provision of dietary protein from AAs decreases femoral size (cross sectional area) and strength (maximum load) in both PKU and WT mice compared with casein and GMP diets (B). Schematic of a load displacement curve generated from the three-point bending test is shown in A and representative photographs of femoral cross-sectional geometry in PKU mice fed casein, AA and GMP diets is shown in B.
