Abstract excerpt
Using a phenotype driven n-ethyl-nitrosourea (ENU) screen in growth hormone-deficient mice, we have identified a mutant (named 14104) that exhibited a smaller bone size. Phenotype measurements by microcomputed tomography revealed that mutant mice exhibited a 43 and 34% reduction in tissue area and bone area, respectively at the femur middiaphysis. Dynamic histomorphometry revealed a 30 and 15% lower bone...
