SOST transgenic expression has a negative impact on bone parameters. (A) Body weight measurements of 5-mo-old male mice (non-tg = 13; SOSTwt = 15; SOSTvbΔ = 14; animals were pooled from two lines of SOSTwt and two lines of SOSTvbΔ; Supplemental material). (B) Bone mineral density in the tibia, femur, and lumbar spine as evaluated by DEXA. (C) Bone volume, trabecular number, thickness, and separation as evaluated in the cancellous bone compartment of the proximal tibia metaphysis by microCT. Mean ± SEM; (*) p < 0.05 vs. non-tg.
