Abstract excerpt
Two inbred mouse strains, C3H/HeJ (C3H) and C57BL/6J (B6), displayed a profound difference in femoral peak bone density. We have previously shown that the difference could be attributed to a greater bone formation rate (BFR) that was due to a higher osteoblastic activity [measured by a mineral apposition rate (MAR)] in the C3H (high density) than B6 (low density) mice. The present study sought to determine (1)...
