Data are mean (SD). n = number of studied mice. In bold: data that are significantly different to WT at similar age (based on Tukey post hoc comparison). Significance by Tukey post hoc comparison following two‐way ANOVA is indicated by superscript letters.

mdBV = mineralized bone volume per tissue volume; mdTb.Th. = mineralized trabecular thickness; mdTh.N = mineralized trabecular number.

a

p < .001 versus WT.

b

p < .001.

c

p < .05 versus 6 weeks (all based on Tukey post hoc comparison).
