## Abstract Recent studies have suggested that leptin hormone may play a pivotal role on bone remodeling through a direct effect by modulating positively the OPG/RANKL balance. Here, we investigate the effect of leptin hormone on RANKL and OPG expression in MC3T3โE1 osteoblasts using RTโPCR and ELI

## Abstract The role of regucalcin in the regulation of osteoblastic cell function was investigated. Osteoblastic MC3T3โE1 cells with subconfluent monolayers were cultured in a medium containing regucalcin (10^โ10^โ10^โ8^ M) without fetal bovine serum (FBS). The proliferation of osteoblastic cells
## Abstract The surface characteristics of a calcium ion (Ca)โincorporated titanium (Ti) surface, produced by hydrothermal treatment using an alkaline Caโcontaining solution, and its effects on osteoblastic differentiation were investigated. MC3T3โE1 preโosteoblastic cells were cultured on machined
## Abstract To determine the function of biomaterials on osteoblasts, we studied the effects of two different biomaterials, sintered bovine bone (true bone ceramic) and hydroxyapatiteโrelated material, on DNA and collagen synthesis and osteoblastic expression in osteoblastโlike cells __in vitro__.
