Journal ArticleDOI
Formation, mineralization, and resorption of bone in vitamin D—deficient rats
TL;DR: The occurrence of hypocalcemia is interpreted as the consequence, both of reduced calcium absorption and of inadequate resorptive response of bone cells to homeostatic stimuli, such that, although bone resorption was greater than normal, it did not adequately compensate for the reduced intestinal absorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation, mineralization, and resorption of bone in hypophosphatemic rats
TL;DR: Increased resorption occurred at levels of serum phosphorus where no changes were observed in bone formation, mineralization, or growth, suggesting that this resorptive response functions as a homeostatic mechanism to maintain serum and intracellular phosphorus concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzymes of protein and phosphate catabolism in rat bone. I. Enzyme properties in normal rats.
TL;DR: In this paper, a study was made of several enzymatic activities in rat femur and tibia and the distribution of activity in the metaphysis, diaphysis, and marrow was determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone repletion in calcium deficient rats fed a high calcium diet.
TL;DR: Mechanical stress was probably greatest in those sites where the greatest amount of bone repletion occurred and may have been the factor which contributed to the increase in endosteal bone formation during calcium repletions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of Bone Matrix Formation, Mineralization, and Resorption in Thyroparathyroidectomized Rats
TL;DR: The depression of bone resorption in TPTX rats was probably due to hyperphosphatemia as well as to hypoparathyroidism, which is consistent with previous work showing an inverse relationship between serum phosphorus and bone Resorption.
