Table III.
Histomorphometric measurements of the number of osteoclasts and osteoblasts on the endocortical bone of OC+/+ and OC−/− mice. Asterisk indicates a significant difference compared to OC+/+ (*p<0.01).
Measurement | OC+/+ | OC−/− |
---|---|---|
No. osteoblasts/bone perimeter | 31.8 +/− 0.6 | 45.7 +/− 3.4* |
No. of osteoclasts/bone perimeter | 0.39 +/− 0.02 | 0.37 +/− 0.09 |
Sample size (N) | 4 | 5 |
