2.5.9 Statistical analysis

Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, and the significance of differences between groups has been determined using GrafPadPrism 5.0 Software by analysis of variance. Differences between groups were further evaluated by Student T test or two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post test. Differences were considered significant at P<0.05.

2.6.1 Body weight, bonę length and plasmatic markers

We have recently reported the expression of CD36 by osteoblasts (Brodeur et al., 2008) and herein, we took advantage of the Cd36KO mouse model to investigate the role of CD36 in bonę remodeling. First, we determined generał morphogenic and plasmatic parameters of Cd36KO mice. Weights of Cd36KO were significantly lower than WT mice (Fig. 2.1 A), and this difference persisted from 1 to 6 months in małe (between 20-25%) and female mice (10-20%). Since this lower weight may reflect a reduction of bonę growth, the length of femur and tibia from Cd36KO and WT mice was compared. There were no significant differences in length of these long bones in sex- and age-matched Cd36KO and WT mice (Fig. 2.IB). Visceral and fat pad adipose tissue was globally reduced in Cd36KO mice compared to WT mice (unpublished observations) which may account for the lower weight. Since CD36 has been functionally associated with the metabolism of lipoproteins (Febbraio et al., 1999; Febbraio et al., 2000), we measured the plasma levels of total cholesterol and fractions associated with LDL and HDL. The levels of plasma total cholesterol, LDL and HDL fractions were similar in 1 month-old Cd36KO and WT mice (Table 2.1). Moreover, plasma analysis revealed a normal minerał homeostasis for calcium and phosphate, as well as normal levels of glucose and ALP activities in Cd36KO mice (Table 2.2).
