Whole-bone mechanical properties of 12 week-old LC and Gorab^Prx1 tibiae, measured by three-point bending testing.

Parameters	Unadjusted			Body weight-adjusted

	LC	Gorab^Prx1	Diff (%)	LC	Gorab^Prx1	Diff (%)
Max load (N)	13.00 ± 1.77	6.97 ± 2.71^a	−46	14.44 ±1.57	8.73 ±1.97^a	−40
Stiffness (N/mm)	148.1 ± 21.5	67.2 ± 32.1^a	−55	153.1 ± 21.3	85.0 ± 26.0^a	−45
Work-to-fracture (Nmm)	12.50 ± 3.82	4.93 ± 4.41^a	−61	18.22 ± 2.02	7.24 ± 3.68^a	−60
Post-yield displacement (mm)	0.48 ± 0.22	0.25 ± 0.23^a	−47	0.71 ± 0.18	0.33 ± 0.21^a	−54

Data are presented as mean ± SD.

Differences are calculated as (Gorab^Prx1-LC)/LC×100.
