The effects of Zeolite A on bone resorbing activity of highly purified avian osteoclasts were analyzed. The present study demonstrates that when 100 pg/ml of acid-treated Zeolite A is added to the media the number of pits per osteoclast is reduced 3-fold at 24 h after treatment. Secreted cathepsin B
Production of superoxide radicals by osteoclasts is necessary for normal bone degradation. White blood cell superoxide, needed for bacterial killing, is produced by activated NADPH oxidase. Since osteoclasts and white blood cells share a common hematopoietic origin, we initiated experiments to test
