Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is characterized by skeletal fragility and muscle weakness. In this study we investigated the effects of soluble activin type IIB receptor (sActRIIB-mFc) on muscle mass and function in 2 distinct mouse models of OI: osteogenesis imperfecta murine (oim) and +/G610C. METHODS: Wild-type (WT), +/G610C, and oim/oim mice were treated from 2 to 4 months of age with...
