Abstract
The material herein is an extension of an earlier study of osteocyte lacunae in calcium-deficient rats, utilizing morphometric measurements in undecalcified bone sections and scanning electron microscopy. The results confirm our earlier finding that bone resorption resulting from a low-calcium diet is not accompanied by osteocytic resorption.
