Figure 1.
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) compared femoral metaphysis from female adult (14 week) C57BL/6J (1A, n=9) and C57BL/6J Cftr-/- (1B, n=5) mice. Total, cortical and trabecular densities of C57BL/6J Cftr-/- mice were decreased. The reduced red areas indicative of lower trabecular density in C57BL/6J Cftr-/- mice are apparent. Detailed results are included in Table 2. Scale bars= 1 mm
