## Abstract Proliferation and differentiation of osteoclasts are regulated by a cytokine system that includes RANKL, which binds 2 receptors: RANK, which activates osteoclast differentiation, and osteoprotegerin (OPG), a decoy receptor that limits RANKL action. We investigated the role of the OPG/R
