Figure 2. Quantitation of calcium and phosphate in the vibrissae of mice depicted in Fig. 1.

Figure 2

Biopsy specimens were processed as described in the Materials and methods section, and calcium and phosphate were quantitatively determined by chemical assays. The Ca x P product was correlated with the weight of the biopsied tissue. Values are expressed as mean ± S.E. and the statistical significance was determined by Wilcoxon’s test as shown in the inset. Statistical significance: ** = in comparison with wild-type mice; +, ++ = in comparison with three-month old Abcc6-/- mice on control diet; ## = in comparison with six-month old Abcc6-/- mice on control diet; NS, the values are not statistically different from those in age-matched mice on control diet.
