title: Effect of strontium chloride on bone resorption induced by prostaglandin E2 in cultured bone.
abstract: We examined whether the bone resorption induced by PGE2 was inhibited by SrCl2 using 45Ca-labelled calvaria of CD-strain mice in tissue culture. It was found that Sr salts inhibited physiological bone resorption in a dose-dependent manner (0.1-5.0 mM) and did not act via PGE2. Accordingly, it was suggested that Sr salts did not inhibit bone resorption induced by exogenous PGE2.
