Abstract
Visual examination of the intensity of Procion dye in hamster femurs revealed that dye incorporation decreased during hibernation. Little or no dye was observed after hibernation lasting longer than 50 days. It seems that hibernation may be associated with increased bone resorption and a loss of bone matrix.
