Femur spine and total body BMD determined by DXA (PIXImus) in 22 wt (12 male and 10 female) and 22 k/o (11 male and 11 female) mice. Mean values at the three sites were 734 ± 27 versus 784 ± 20; 552 ± 15 versus 641 ± 12 and 489 ± 12 versus 523 ± 6, g/cm2 × 103; wt versus ko for femur, spine and total body respectively; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared to wt. Results are expressed as M ± SEM
