Test Description: Mice were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of Avertin (1.25% 2,2,2,-tribromoethanol, 20 ml/kg body weight ), measured body length and weight, and then placed in a prone position on the platform of the PIXImusTM Densitometer (Lunar Inc.) for a DEXA scan. Using a Lunar PIXImus software, the Bone mineral density (BMD) and fat composition (% fat) and total tissue mass (TTM) were determined in the regions of interest (ROI, i.e., whole body, vertebrae, and both femurs).


Level I

  BMD = Bone Mineral Density (g/cm2);
  BMC = Bone Mineral Content (g);
  LBM = Lean Body Mass (g);
  BMC / LBM = BMC / LBM (mg/g);
  FAT(%) = % of Body FAT;
  FAT(g) = TTM X FAT(%)/100;
  TTM = Total Tissue Mass (g);
  vBMD = Volumetric BMD (mg/cm3)

DEXA Combined Gender Score
Parameter Score
Body BMD  96.8%
Body vBMD  98.5%
Body BMC/LBM  100.7%
Femur BMD  96.4%
Vertebral BMD  96.1%
Total Tissue Mass  90.6%
Body LBM  92.8%
Body % Fat  88.4%
Body Fat Content  81.0%
The Combined Gender Score provides the average ration of Hom to WT values combining
males and females, with a correction factor for the number of mice in each group. No score
is generated if there are fewer than 4 HOM mice or fewer than 3 WT mice
