Bone trabeculae are easily depleted by the prolonged administration of parathormone, long-continued negative Ca balance and growth. A long-continued high Ca diet results in a rapid accumulation of the trabeculae. Alizarin red, as has previously been shown in the literature, is deposited in newly formed bone. Its use has made clear that easily mobilizable Ca is not deposited in the shafts of adult animals, but in the trabeculae of bone. The bone trabeculae therefore serve as the storehouse of readily available Ca. The shafts have a slow progressive exchange of inorganic salts and are not influenced except in the case of unusual body demands. It is suggested that the absence of trabeculae in premature infants and their depletion at the end of 4 mos. in a normal baby might well be an etiological factor in rickets. In our observations, parathormone administration to growing or adult cats has been without effect. Daily injections of parathormone in growing rats results in an increased number of trabeculae and smaller bones.
