Real-time RT-PCR. The expression of collagen 1𝛼1 (col1) was decreased in humerus (hu; HFD 𝑛=7, C 𝑛=6) and vertebrae L3 (L3; HFD 𝑛=6, C 𝑛=6) in HFD mice in comparison to controls (C). No regulation was found for osteocalcin (OC) and cathepsin K (ctsK) expression. Data presented as box plots with the median indicated by solid line within the box. Small circles represent data beyond 1.5x the interquartile range of the median. ^∗∗𝑃≤0.01.
