Abstract: | Summary Mouse maxillary second molars were removed at either 24 or 96 h of age and maintained in vitro. Half of the teeth, of each age group, were treated with 50 m-units of synthetic salmon calcitonin. By comparing the initial and final calcium concentrations in the medium, the net uptake or release of calcium was inferred. The treated molars took up significantly more calcium than the untreated groups. |
