Hydrogen peroxide inhibits glucose metabolism and collagen synthesis in bone.
Effects of H2O2 on bone were evaluated in an organ culture system. Tibiae from chick embryos were incubated for up to 3 days in culture medium containing 0.07 to 20 mM H2O2. Glucose metabolism was monitored by measuring lactate production and oxygen consumption, and collagen synthesis was determined by hydroxylation of proline. In addition to markedly inhibiting these parameters, H2O2 also decreased bone weight and alkaline phosphatase activity. Multiple exposures to H2O2 were somewhat more effective than a single exposure. Since H2O2 inhibits bone at low concentrations in vitro, the results suggest that the potential for harmful effects of H2O2 in the oral cavity should be investigated.
