Experimental Study of Wound Healing on Bone and Oral Tissue in two Experimental Animal Model Systems: Effect of Dietary Zinc, Phosphate Supplements and Calcitonin in Bone Healing.
Abstract
A method to study in vivo early bone formation biochemically and histologically has been developed using the guinea pig model. Zinc supplementation at a level of 100 ppm in the diet, allowed increased deposition of calcium and phosphorus at a bone forming site. Calcitonin seems to stimulate this effect. Zinc supplementation effectively prevented the negative zinc balance that sets in immediately after a stress such as bone fracture.
