The precision and accuracy of noninvasive measurements of total body calcium in the rat.

Abstract:

:It has been proposed that the adult castrated male rat may be used as a model of human postmenopausal osteoporosis. If such a model is valid then the total body calcium of castrated rats should progressively decrease compared with normal rats. To search for this age-related difference, it will be necessary to use a measurement technique with a precision which is small compared with the magnitude of the change to be detected. From measurements of total body calcium by neutron activation and by whole body ashing of eight dead rats, it has been shown that total body calcium can be measured with an accuracy and precision which should allow distinction between the expected lifetime changes in normal and castrated rats.

  • Hypertensive structural changes in blood vessels: do endothelial cells hold the key?

    abstract::In recent decades, the complexity of the endothelium and its major role in maintaining or altering blood vessel architecture are being revealed. In contrast, the vascular smooth muscle cell previously received the most attention. I suggest support of the hypothesis that the endothelium is the key to vascular disease. ...
