title: Inhibition of bone resorption in vitro by a cartilage-derived anticollagenase factor.
abstract: A cartilage-derived factor containing a specific collagenous inhibitor was found to block reversibly parathyroid hormone-stimulated 45Ca release from fetal rat bone in vitro. Morphologic and quantitative histometric examination revealed that this factor modulates osteoclastic activities.
