Summary

We have investigated disuse osteoporosis in the calcaneum of the rabbit. Periosteocytic demineralization is an accurate indication of the degree of osteoporosis. It is influenced by the degree of skeletal maturity and the administration of calcitonin.

Résumé

L'étude des paramètres classiques de l'ostéoporose (ostéogénèse, résorption, volume absolu osseux et volume trabéculaire osseux), nous a permis dans un premier temps de nous assurer que nous disposions d'un modèle expérimental satisfaisant. Puis nous avons analysé la valeur de la mesure de la déminéralisation périostéocytaire dans l'étude de l'ostéoporose d'immobilisation. La déminéralisation périostéocytaire est différente suivant le degré de maturation squelettique et elle est freinée par l'administration de calcitonine.
