It is shown that mice deficient in α-tocopherol transfer protein (Ttpa−/− mice), a mouse model of genetic vitamin E deficiency, have high bone mass as a result of a decrease in bone resorption, and serum vitamin E is a determinant of bone mass through its regulation of osteoclast fusion.

The comparison of the activation maps showed that the brain activity in the left posterior parietal cortex and left postcentral gyrus was lower in the DCD children than in the control children, suggesting that the dysfunction of these regions may be the neural underpinnings of impaired motor skill in DCDChildren.
