The effects of vitamin D-free diet with low Ca content on 24 hours' 99mTc-methylendiphosphonate retention (in the whole body and tibia), long-term the whole body 85Sr retention and 2 hours' 85Sr catchment in epiphysis, metaphysis and diaphysis of femur and tibia in rats (at the same time in certain experiments femur density and weight after incineration were established) were followed. The whole body 99mTc-MDP retention increases significantly as early as the third day of the diet administration, retention in tibia and the whole body is in further 2 experiments increased after 1, 2 and 4 weeks of the diet (density decreases from the first or the second week). The whole body 85Sr retention is significantly increased as early as after 2 days of the diet, the great difference against controls only slowly decreases after discontinuation of low-Ca diet. Further experiment followed 2 hours' 85Sr catchment in femur and tibia samples after 2, 5, 10 and 20 days of diet--catchment increase is significant after 20 days (bone density and ash weight is significantly decreased after 10 and 20 days of diet). Thus retention of both osteotrophic substances in bone is as a result of low Ca diet increased. This reaction is in case with 85Sr expected, in that of 99mTc-MDP it suggests a possible relation of the catchment and mineral component of osseous tissue. Increased retention of both the substances obviously fails to be related to local blood circulation which was in this situation in our previous experiments decreased.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Mature and old B6AF1 and B6D2F1 mice were given acidified tap water or promethazine HCl (a phenothiazine with H1 receptor blocking activity), chlorpheniramine (an H1 blocker) or trifluoperazine (a phenothiazine with no H1 blocking activity) in their drinking water, and the effects of these agents on bone mineral content were assessed by intermittently measuring the 24-h whole body retention of Tc 99m methylene diphosphonate (Tc 99m MDP, an indicator of bone metabolism) and at the end of the studies by determining ash weights of femur, ilium and sacrum. It was found that 24-h retention of Tc 99m MDP was elevated in old mice as it is in old osteopenic humans, that promethazine but not chlorpheniramine or trifluoperazine inhibited bone loss in aging mice, and that there was a correlation between decrease in retention of Tc 99m MDP and decreased bone loss. These preliminary results suggest that the ability of promethazine to inhibit age-related bone loss may not be mediated through its action as an H1 blocker or as a phenothiazine. However, more agents of each type need to be tested before this point can be established.

Old female B6AF1 mice were given acidified tap water, distilled water, one of five H1 blockers or chlorpheniramine (an H1 blocker) and trifluoperazine (a phenothiazine with no H1 blocking activity) in their drinking water for 5 months, and the effects of these agents on bone mineral metabolism were assessed by determining ash weights of femur, ilium and sacrum at the end of the study. In one experiment 24 h whole-body retention (WBR) of Tc 99m methylene diphosphonate (Tc 99m MDP, an indicator of bone metabolism) was measured at the beginning of the study and 40 days later. It was found that: promethazine and dimenhydrinate were the most effective of the H1 blockers in preventing age-related loss of bone mass; distilled water, chlorpheniramine, and chlorpheniramine plus trifluoperazine had no effect on the loss of bone mass; mean bone mass in the groups given meclizine and pyrilamine were greater than but not significantly different from that in the control group given acidified tap water; and only promethazine induced a significant reduction in the WBR of Tc 99m (the other H1 blockers induced small but not significant reductions).

A segment of the rabbit radius diaphysis was excised, demineralized, and pulverized. The demineralized matrix particles were mixed with autologous bone marrow from the femoral canal and injected into the defect from which it had been excised. On the contralateral side, the demineralized bone was reimplanted without pulverization, but with bone marrow. The bone yield was measured by radiographic planimetry and Tc99m MDP scintimetry. The forearms of the rabbits were sectioned into transverse segments, including the middle of the radius defect. The ash weights and the Ca45 content of these segments were measured. After two weeks, the ash weight was greater on the pulverized than on the unpulverized side; but by four weeks, measurements showed no difference. In general, the injectable bone matrix preparation did not interfere with bone repair. In comparing the Tc99m and Ca45 methods, the latter provided high-precision data with respect to the biologic variation.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of the oil hemp seed (FINOLA variety) cake and defatted hemp seed cake by SC-CO2 was carried out using Flavorpro 750 MDP and Promod 439 L enzymes, and proximate composition, proanthocyanidins, phytic acid, lignanamides and cannabinoids were determined from the separated phases. CIELAB* color parameters were measured, while trained panelists evaluated taste, color, and smell in 1-9 Hedonic scale. Ten lignanamides, seven cannabisin-type and three grossamide-type, were found, from the cannabinoids, only cannabidiolic acid was detected. Protein, fat, ash, lignanamides and proanthocyanidins remained mostly in the sediments after the hydrolysis process in the Flavorpro treated samples, while dry matter, fat and ash was released mostly to liquids in Promod treated samples. The defatting process by SC-CO2 resulted in a higher lightness and the enzymatic processing did not have effect on the color attributes. Sediments from the enzymatic treatment were tastier, with better color and smell than liquids.
