Abstract excerpt
Serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and femoral bone mineral density (BMD) differ between two inbred strains of mice, C3H/HeJ (C3H) and C57BL/6J (B6), by approximately 30% and 50%, respectively. Similarly, skeletal IGF-1 content, bone formation, mineral apposition, and marrow stromal cell numbers are higher in C3H than in B6 mice. Because IGF-1 and several bone parameters cosegregate, we hypothesize that...
