Figure 5. Diminished osteoclast density in Col3+/− bones relative to Col3 +/+ mice.

Figure 5

Osteoclast number was analyzed by positive TRAP staining in young female Col3+/+ (N=7) and +/− (N=6) proximal tibiae. Osteoclast number was normalized to the length of bone surface within the image field. Comparison of osteoclast density revealed a significant decrease in these cells in Col3-deficient bones relative to wild-type mice (*p<0.05, between Col3+/+ and +/− mice).
