In this study, a rat calvaria/macrophage co-culture model was used to study the effects of various agents upon bone resorption induced by macrophage exposure to bone cement particles. The experimental group consisted of calvaria bone disks set in tissue culture medium on stainless-steel platforms in
Estrogen deficiency puts individuals at risk of developing osteoporosis because it causes increased bone resorption. However, the mechanism by which this occurs is not known. We have shown, using a recently described two-phase human bone marrow culture system, that estradiol (17b-E 2 ) added to phas
