| Resumo |
This project characterised the bone microarchitecture of adult mice lacking the hormone, acyl ghrelin, by high resolution micro-computed tomography; and investigated the expression of the ghrelin axis in cells of human and mouse fetal cartilage. This thesis highlights for the first time the physiological role of the ghrelin axis in the bone microenvironment of aged mice. Furthermore it improves our understanding of the complex expression patterns of the ghrelin axis in cartilage cells of human and mouse fetal skeletons. |
