Uptake of peroxidase by calcitonin inhibited osteoclasts. 1977

U Lucht, and J O Norgaard

The present electron microscopic histochemical study demonstrates that osteoclasts from calcitonin treated bone are able to take up organic macromolecules even though the ruffled border has disapppeared. The absorption occurs around the entire periphery of the osteoclast, but the amount of absorbed peroxidase seems to be reduced in comparison with that of untreated cells. It is concluded that the effect of calcitonin on osteoclasts is primarily a cessation of the exocytosis and the concomitant disappearance of the ruffled border.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010006 Osteoblasts Bone-forming cells which secrete an EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX. HYDROXYAPATITE crystals are then deposited into the matrix to form bone. Osteoblast
D010544 Peroxidases Ovoperoxidase
D002116 Calcitonin A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.
