The experiment was designed to determine whether the osteoporosis observed with immobilization is the result of local factors or develops in response to circulating hormones, which are more effective in the immobilized part. The hormones considered were those from thethyroid and parathyroid glands. Thirty adult dogs were divided into 4 groups: intact, parathyroidectomized, thyroidectomized and thyroparathyroidectomized. The right hind limbs were immobilized in a single hip spica cast, which was replaced at weekly intervals. After 3 to 12 weeks, the tibia and 1 metatarsal were removed from the immobilized and nonimmobilized limbs of each animal, and quantitative microradiographic studies were carried out; the degree of porosity, bone formation and bone resorption were measured in the midshaft of these 2 bones. The pCO2 and pO2 and pH of arterial and venous tibial blood were measured in selected animals. The results showed that after 3 weeks there were both l'oentgenologic evidence and microradiographic evi...
