Abstract
Though it is proposed that osteocytes have several functions in bone m etabolism, only limited definite information including results of calc ium regulation has been forthcoming. We demonstrate here for the first time that the concentration of divalent cations, such as calcium, nic kel and cadmium, directly regulates the cytosolic calcium concentratio n in osteocytes.
