Figure 5

Trabecular bone in the distal femur stained by TRAP in (A) male wild type (WT), (B) male Keap1 heterozygous (Ht), (C) female wild type (WT) and (D) female Keap1 heterozygous (Ht) mice, indicating osteoclast surface (Oc.S/BS) and osteoclast number (N.Oc/B.Pm). The osteoclast number and surface were significantly reduced in male Keap1-Ht mice compared to the WT mice. Serum CTX was significantly less in male Keap1 Ht mice than male WT mice. Data were tested using two-way ANOVA with Keap1 genotype and gender as main effects. The bar at the top of each graph indicates significance of the main effects and interaction (# = Keap1 genotype p < 0.05; @ = gender p < 0.05; $ = interaction p < 0.05). When at least one term was significant, t tests were conducted and is indicated as *p < 0.05 v.s. male WT mice. For Oc.S/BS and N.Oc/B.Pm, n = 10–14/group. For CTX, n = 10–13/group.
