No Role of Osteocytic Osteolysis in the Development and Recovery of the Bone Phenotype Induced by Severe Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Vitamin D Receptor Deficient Mice.

Abstract excerpt

Osteocytic osteolysis/perilacunar remodeling is thought to contribute to the maintenance of mineral homeostasis. Here, we utilized a reversible, adult-onset model of secondary hyperparathyroidism to study femoral bone mineralization density distribution (BMDD) and osteocyte lacunae sections (OLS) based on quantitative backscattered electron imaging. Male mice with a non-functioning vitamin D receptor (VDRΔ/Δ) or...
