  • Title: Inhibition of bone cell metabolism increases strontium-85 uptake.
    Author: McCarthy ID, Hughes SP.
    Journal: Calcif Tissue Int; 1986 Dec; 39(6):386-9. PubMed ID: 3100002.
    Abstract:
    Experiments have been performed on the canine tibia to investigate whether perturbation of the energy metabolism of bone cells can influence the short-term exchange of bone mineral. Simultaneous injection of three radioactive tracers, 125I-albumin, 85Sr, and 86Rb, into the tibial nutrient artery was followed immediately by measurement of the concentration of these tracers in the venous outflow from the bone for a period of 5 minutes. This procedure was performed before and after the injection of potassium cyanide into the bone. From the measured concentrations, extraction ratios for 85Sr and 86Rb with respect to 125I-albumin were calculated. It was found that net extraction after 5 minutes of 85Sr was significantly increased. This result indicates that efflux of ions from exchangeable mineral is dependent to a significant extent on the metabolic activity of bone cells.
