Expression data from osteocytes in virgin,lactating and post lactation mice

We have previously shown that during lactation, osteocytes directly remodel their perilacunar and pericanalicular matrix, thereby mobilizing calcium and contributing to maternal bone loss. To identify genes potentially responsible for perilacunar remodeling, microarray analysis was performed on osteocytes from CD-1 virgin and lactating mice and mice sacrificed on day 7 post weaning.
