Tendon area and failure properties across genotypes and age. (A) Cross-sectional area was significantly increased in Dcn−/−tendons at maturity (P=150) and middle age (P=300). This difference was not observed in old age (P=570). (B) In Dcn−/−tendons, load at failure was significantly (p<0.0167) reduced in middle and old age, but only demonstrated a trend (p<0.033) toward reduction at maturity. Bgn−/−tendons demonstrated statistically (p<0.0167) significant reductions at all ages. Bars indicate significant differences, dashed lines indicate trends, and error bars indicate standard deviation.
