โฆ Synopsis
The present investigation was undertaken to clarify the in oitro effect of zinc on bone metabolism in tissue culture. Calvaria were removed from weanling rats (3-week-old males) and cultured for periods up to 96 hr in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (high glucose, 4500 mg/dl) supplemented with antibiotics and bovine serum albumin. The experimental cultures contained lo-' to 10m3 M zinc sulfate. All cultures were incubated at 37" in 5% COr/95% air. Zinc uptake by bone was increased
