Transient receptor potential vanilloid channels (TRPVs) have been implicated in Ca2+ homeostasis and bone metabolism. In particular, TRPV4 deficiency was shown to cause sexual dimorphism in bone metabolism and osteoporotic fracture risk. Cortical bone structure was reported to be altered in male TRPV4 knock-out (TRPV4−/−) mice but not in female TRPV−/− mice compared to sex-matched wildtype (TRPV4+/+) animals.To gain knowledge on t...
