During resorption of mineralized tissues, osteoclasts are exposed to marked changes in the concentration of extracellular Ca2+ and H+. We examined the effects of these cations on two types of K+ currents previously described in these cells. Whole-cell patch clamp recordings of membrane currents were

## Abstract Osteoclast activity is thought to be regulated by calcitonin, as well as by the level of ionised calcium generated locally as a result of bone resorption. The exposure of isolated osteoclasts to elevated ambient calcium levels has been shown to lower resorptive activity and to reduce ra
We report the effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) on the responsiveness of osteoclasts to cellular, hormonal, and ionic signals. Osteoclasts isolated from neonatal rat long bones were dispersed onto either slices of devitalised cortical bone (for the measurement of resorptive activity)
