Lack of anabolic response to skeletal loading in mice with targeted disruption of the pleiotrophin gene

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In a previous study we showed, using the whole genome microarray approach, that pleiotrophin (PTN) expression was increased by 4-fold in response to mechanical loading (ML) in a good responder C57BL/6J (B6) mice. To address PTN role...
