The status of bone mineral and osteocalcin in the young adult Rhesus monkey mandible was assessed following a 14-day period of postcranial immobilization, and after 7- and 28-day recovery periods. Specimens of cortical bone taken from the compact bone at the inferior border of the jaws were ground in liquid nitrogen and sieved to a particular size below 20 μm. The bone powder was then fractionated in a bromoform-toluene density gradient to determine its mineralization profile (Ca, P, CO3, and osteocalcin), and X-ray diffraction was used to determine apatite crystal size in some fractions. There was no change in the chemistry of the mandibular bone from the immobilized animals. However, the mineralization profile in that group showed a significant shift toward the higher density fractions, indicating the presence of a greater than normal content of mature well-mineralized bone. While this trend was accentuated in the jaws following a 7-day postimmobilization recovery period, partial recovery of the normal profile was observed after a 28-day recovery period. The osteocalcin profile shifted like the mineralization profile during the immobilization and recovery periods. X-ray diffraction analyses showed that the shift in the mineralization profile during the immobilization period was associated with a decrease in apatite crystal size.
