Experiment

Investigation of systemic loss of bone mass following bone fracture in young
mice- DEXA analysis with baseline and 3 timepoints post-fracture
Summary Data Summary
Investigator Christiansen, Blaine
Description Using Wild type C57BL/6 mice, the goal of the research is to investigate
systemic loss of bone mas following bone fracture in mice. Using DEXA, bone loss
and activity levels will be monitored in control and bone-fractured mice.
Systemic bone loss and voluntary activity levels in mice will be examined at
multiple time points following femur fracture.

The hypothesis is that bone fracture will initiate a systemic adaptive response
including decreased activity levels, which will result in a systemic loss of
bone mass, contributing to a general decrease in skeletal strength.
