ERα-cKO mice have enhanced osteoclasts. (AC) Bone marrow macrophages from ERα-WT and ERα-cKO animals were treated with M-CSF and RANKL to induce osteoclast differentiation. (A) average number and (B) average size of TRAP positive multinuclear cells and (C) average size of demineralized area. (D) Mesenchymal bone marrow cells were grown to confluency and induced to differentiate with the addition of ascorbic acid. Von Kossa assay was performed to measure percent mineralization of mesenchymal cells from ERα-WT and ERα-cKO animals. *Significantly different from ERα-WT.
