Abstract
Summary
1) A study of marrow-free bone in a number of mammals reveals that sodium content is inversely related to water content. This relationship holds for a number of skeletal sites, and for dental structures. 2) Studies of 2 species with aberrant serum sodium values suggests that bone sodium content also varies, in direct fashion, with serum sodium content. 3) Radiosodium exchangeability of bone is also a function of bone water content.
