Abstract excerpt
C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) suppresses adipogenesis and accelerates osteoblastogenesis in vitro. However, the effects of CHOP in the skeleton in vivo are not known. To investigate the actions of CHOP on bone remodeling, we examined the skeletal phenotype of chop null mice from 1 to 12 months of age. Chop null mice appeared normal and their growth and serum insulin like growth factor (IGF) I and osteocalcin...
