Inbred Strains of Mice: SAMP6
SAMP6Inbr ?+56. Origin: as SAMP1. Albino (
c).
Characteristics:
Shows accelerated aging (Takeda et al 1991). Has a significantly lower peak bone mass than other SAMP strains, but rate of decrease is similar to other strains. Mineral and collagen contents per dry weight of bone show little difference between strains. This suggests that osteopenia is not due to osteomalacia but rather to osteoporosis (Matsuchita et al 1986). Median survival is 321 days in conventional conditions.
