Abstract

Ca45 resorption and incoporration into albino rat-bones in tissue culture was considered in studying the pathogenesis of osteoporosiscaused by cotinued administration of glucocorticoid, hydrocortisone succinate. 18-day old tibias were cultured in a chemically defined media, (BGJb). Hydrocotisone showed no effect on Ca45 resorption and little increase of Ca45 incorporation into bone. This may suggest that hydrocortisone produces osteoporosis not by direct effect but by secondary effects on calcium metabolism.
