Overview bone parameters in osteoblast-specific AR knockout mice.

	Tb. N (/mm)	Tb. Th (μm)	BV/TV (%)	Osteoid surface (%BS)	OCL surface (%BS)	MAR (μm/day)	BFR; (μm2/μm/day)

Osteocalcin-cre KO	↓	↓	↓	↑	=	=	=

Tb. N: trabecular number; Tb. Th: trabecular thickness; BV/TV: trabecular bone volume; OCL: osteoclast; MAR: mineral apposition rate; BFR: bone formation rate.
