Bone features of ΔEpoRE mice with lack of EPOR signaling in non-erythroid cells. a Micro-CT generated images of trabecular bone of 11-week-old male wild-type (wt) and ΔEpoREmice. b–c Femurs of 11-week-old male and female ΔEpoRE mice and age matched wt mice were analyzed using micro-CT. Quantitation of trabecular BMD, BV/TV, number, and spacing of trabecular bone of male (b) and female ΔEpoRE mice (c) and controls (n = 4/group). d–h EPO induced changes in bones of 8-week-old wild-type (wt) and ΔEpoRE mice with Epor deletion in non-erythroid cells. d 3D images of trabecular bones of wt and ΔEpoRE mice receiving 1 200 IU·kg–1 of EPO for 10 days. Quantification of trabecular parameters including trabecular BMD (e), BV/TV (f), trabecular number (g), and trabecular spacing (h). (n = 5/group, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001)
