In one of our earlier studies, an impaired biliary function in diabetes was suggested. We studied bile formation in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes (60 mg per kg body weight). Diabetic rats showed hyperglycemia and hypoinsulinemia, but no significant changes in hematocrit, plasma protein c

β¦ Synopsis
Granulomas were produced over the calvaria of rats by injection of a mixture of turpentine and peanut oil. The granulomas induced localised areas of bone resorption and these resorptive lesions were examined at the fine structural level. A close association was found between osteoclasts and fibroblasts at resorbing surfaces. Furthermore, fibroblasts but not osteoclasts were observed to engulf and phagocytose bone collagen fibrils. It is suggested that the fibroblast either alone or in collaboration with the osteoclast is involved in the destruction of bone collagen during chronic inflammatory disorder of bone.

Periprosthetic osteolysis is known to be a consequence of a local chronic inflammatory reaction in the synovial tissue and the bone-implant interface membrane, and is mediated by macrophages (M$) and foreign body multinucleated giant cells (MNGC) in these tissues.

The effects of methotrexate and doxorubicin (Adriamycin) on intact and β¬ractured bone were studied in a rat model. Methotrexate, 0.1 mg/ kg i.p., was administered five times a week, or doxorubicin, 1 mg/kg i.v., was given once a week. Animals were killed and evaluated at 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks after
