Parathyroid hormone (PTH) elicits its bone anabolic effect in a TG-interacting factor 1 (Tgif1)-dependent manner. a Representative images of proximal tibiae of 12-week-old male mice with the genotypes Dmp1-Cre;Tgif1fl/fl and Dmp1-CreTg;Tgif1fl/fl after von Kossa staining and fluorescence double labeling to visualize bone formation (insets). Dmp1-Cre;Tgif1fl/fl and Dmp1-CreTg;Tgif1fl/fl mice were treated with PTH or vehicle (Veh) for 4 weeks. Scale bars indicate 1 mm (black) and 50 μm (white). b Histomorphometric analysis of the proximal tibiae of 12-week-old Dmp1-Cre;Tgif1fl/fl and Dmp1-CreTg;Tgif1fl/fl male mice after PTH or Veh treatment for 4 weeks (Dmp1-Cre;Tgif1fl/fl+Veh: N = 8, Dmp1-Cre;Tgif1fl/fl+PTH: N = 8, Dmp1-CreTg;Tgif1fl/fl+Veh: N = 8, Dmp1-CreTg;Tgif1fl/fl+PTH: N = 8). For abbreviations see the legend to Fig. 1. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001 vs. Veh of the same genotype. Error bars represent the s.e.m. Statistical analysis was performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Newman–Keuls post-hoc test
