(A) Schematic of generating Dmp1-Cre Recql4 +/+ and Recql4 fl/fl mice. (B) The assessment of Recql4 genomic excision in various tissues from Dmp1-Cre mice. (C) Gross body weights of male Dmp1-Cre Recql4 mice. n = 4 for Recql4 +/+, n = 6 for Recql4 fl/fl. (D) Measurement of tibiae from Dmp1-Cre Recql4 +/+ and Recql4 fl/fl mice. n = 4 for Recql4 +/+, n = 8 for Recql4 fl/fl. (E) Trabecular bone volume (BV/TV), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) of Dmp1-Cre Recql4 tibiae. (F) Cortical thickness (Ct.Th), cortical bone area (Ct. Ar), total cortical cross-sectional bone area (Tt.Ar) and cortical bone area fraction (Ct.Ar/Tt.Ar) of Dmp1-Cre Recql4 cortical tissue. Data from 9 week old male mice; n = 4 for Recql4 +/+, n = 8 for Recql4 fl/fl. Data presented as mean±SEM. *P<0.05 compared with Recql4 +/+, t-test.
