  • Title: Infrared analysis of rat bone: age dependency of amorphous and crystalline mineral fractions.
    Author: Termine JD, Posner AS.
    Journal: Science; 1966 Sep 23; 153(3743):1523-5. PubMed ID: 5917783.
    Abstract:
    Quantitative infrared spectrophotometric analysis of whole femurs from male rats demonstrates that anorphous calcium phosphate is a major component of bone mineral. The amount of amorphous calcium phosphate in whole bone decreases while the crystalline bone apatite increases during early stages of bone formation. Mature rat bone contains constant levels of both amorphous and crystalline calcium phosphate.
