Retardation in bone resorption after bone marrow ablation in klotho mutant mice.

Abstract excerpt

The klotho gene mutant mice exhibit both osteopetrotic phenotype, including elongation of trabeculae in the epiphyses of long bones and vertebral bodies, and osteopenic phenotype, such as thin cortical bones in the diaphyses of these bones. These diverse features raise the question of whether the klotho gene defect results in alteration in bone resorption in vivo. Therefore, we examined the effect of the klotho...
