Minerals, Collagen, and Hexosamine in Rat Femora

HARRY SOBEL PH.D.1

1 Institute for Medical Research, Cedars of Lebanon Hospital; Department of Biochemistry and Nutrition, University of Southern California, Los Angeles

The growth of minerals, collagen, and hexosamine in the femora of rats ranging in age up to one year was studied. Significant sex differences were not observed in the quantities of these substances. The data suggested, however, that the mineral content might be greater in females than in males, and it was observed that estrogen administration increased mineral content.
