Abstract excerpt
Klotho gene mutant mice (klotho mice, also called kl/kl) exhibit osteopetrosis in the metaphysis of femora and tibiae and die within 3 months. We previously showed by semiquantitative RT-PCR that osteoprotegerin (opg) expression levels in klotho mice were about 2-fold higher than those in wild-ty...
