Article Synopsis
- * This study investigates how a specific mutation in collagen (proalpha2(I) collagen gene defect) affects bone properties in mice with different genetic backgrounds (C57BL/6J and B6C3Fe) during development.
- * Findings revealed that both genetic background and age influence femoral geometry and mechanical strength, with oim/oim mice showing decreased bone mass and altered collagen content compared to wildtype mice, indicating complex interactions between genetics and bone health.
Alterations in neurochemical activity in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus may account for decreased intake of zinc-deficient diets. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed zinc-deficient (ZD) or zinc-adequate (ZA) diet for 14 d before samples of extracellular fluid in the PVN were collected by microdialysis or push-pull perfusion. A third set of rats was pair-fed (PF) an amount of ZA diet equal to the intake of ZD rats.
