Figure 1. Absence of IL15RA preserves trabecular bone structure but decreases cortical bone quality.

Figure 1

(A) Femur length at different ages (n=4–6/timepoint); (B) representative rendered microCT scans of femur trabeculae from control and Il15ra−/− mice at 11 and 33 weeks of age; trabeculae number (C) and trabecular bone volume/total volume (Tb.BV/TV) ratio (D) (n=5). (E) Representative rendered microCT scans of femur cortical bone; cortical tissue mineral density (F), thickness (G) and area (H) (n=5). (I) Maximal load as calculated with 3-points bending analysis (n=5). G: effect of genotype; A: effect of age; I: interaction between genotype and age.
