To quantify the levels of CTx, osteocalcin, RANKL, and OPG in serum or BMp, RATlaps ELISA kit (catalog number AC-06F1, Immunodiagnostic Systems, Fountain Hills, AZ), mouse osteocalcin ELISA kit (catalog number 60–1305, Immutopics, San Clemente, CA), mouse TRANCE/TNFSF11/RANK Ligand ELISA kit (catalog number DY462, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), and mouse osteoprotegerin/TNFRSF11B immunoassay ELISA kit (catalog number MOP00, R&D Systems) with established protocols from the manufacturer were used, respectively. CTx, osteocalcin, RANKL, and OPG were measured in serum or BMp from mice, following an overnight fast.
