growth/size/body
• males exhibit a slight increase in crown-rump length compared to controls at 10 weeks

N
• bone resorption is slightly decreased in both mutants and controls while osteoclast numbers are not affected
• calvarial osteoblasts exhibit diminished differentiation potential in terms of bone nodule formation and alkaline phosphatase expression
• with prednisolone treatment, osteoblast differentiation is impaired in wild-type mice, but is unaffected in mutants, as determined by Col1a1 expression, marking functional osteoblasts
• in response to two weeks of treatment with the Nr3c1 agonist prednisolone, mutants do not display reduced bone mineral density in vertebral bones in contrast to treated controls
• mice show modest but highly significant decrease in bone density in calcified vertebral sections compared to controls at 3 months
• trabecular numbers are decreased but trabecular thickness is unaltered resulting in increased trabecular spacing
• osteoblast numbers, osteoblast surface, osteocytes, and osteoclast parameters are not significantly changed compared to controls
• bone formation in vertebrae is not inhibited whereas treated controls show near complete inhibition of bone formation with prednisolone treatment; osteoblastogenesis (numbers of colony forming units of osteoblasts) is not impaired as seen in controls with prednisolone treatment

• long bone osteoblasts exhibit an increased expression of inflammatory cytokines during osteoblast differentiation
• osteoclast number is increased in lumbar vertebral bodies and tibiae and osteoclast-covered surface of lumbar vertebral bodies and tibiae is increased in males
• osteoclast surface per bone surface and osteoclast number per bone perimeter is increased in vertebral bodies of females
• however, no differences in osteoblast-covered surface or number are seen
• femurs exhibit a smaller midshaft diameter
• tibia show decreased midshaft diameter
• decrease in trabecular bone volume in femurs and lumbar spine of males
• decrease in trabecular bone volume in lumbar spine of females
• femurs show decreased cortical porosity
• femurs and tibiae show an increase in cortical thickness
• decrease in trabecula number in femurs and lumbar spine of males
• decrease in trabecula number in lumbar spine of females
• increase in trabecular separation in femurs and lumbar spine
• decrease in trabecular bone connection density
• femurs show decreased trabecular mass
• reduction in cortical mineralization of femurs
• tibial endocortical bone surface shows an increase in endosteal mineralizing surface
• tibial endocortical bone surface shows an increase in endosteal bone formation rate
• however, no differences in periosteal or trabecular bone formation parameters
• the elastic modulus and work to reach ultimate stress levels are lower in femurs, indicating that femurs tolerate higher stress levels and are more elastic/flexible
• two mice exhibit fracture with callus in the tibia
• femurs bear higher stress levels in the three-point bending tests but work-to-fracture is 42% lower
