Vibrissae dermal sheath mineralization in different mouse strains examined in this study.

The table shows the frequency and severity of vibrissae dermal sheath mineralization in different strains: −, not present; +, mild; ++++, severe. Mice were placed on either normal diet or acceleration diet at 4 weeks of age and tissues were collected for histopathology. The frequency values represent the percent of mice affected by vibrissae dermal sheath mineralization, as examined by Hematoxylin-Eosin stain on one section.
