Chemistry of bone mineral, based on the hypermineralized rostrum of the beaked whale Mesoplodon densirostris.
Carbonate-substituted hydroxylapatite is the inorganic component in bone. The nanometer size of bone crystallites and their interweaving with subequal volumes of collagen fibrils make the chemical analysis of the bone mineral extremely difficult. The few chemical analyses that are available commonly were made on ashed bone, which, in addition to mineral, also includes chemical residues of colla...

متن کاملErratum: A mineralogical study in contrasts: highly mineralized whale rostrum and human enamel
The outermost enamel of the human tooth and the rostrum of the whale Mesoplodon densirostris are two highly mineralized tissues that contain over 95 wt.% mineral, i.e., bioapatite. However, the same mineral type (carbonated hydroxylapatite) does not yield the same material properties, as revealed by Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis, and synchrotron ...
متن کاملSerum ferritin levels and bone mineral density in the elderly
Background: Iron overload influences negatively on bone mineral density (BMD) but the results of studies regarding serum ferritin (SF) and BMD are conflicting.This study aimed to determine the association of SF and BMD in the elderly. Methods: All participants of the Amirkola cohort selected between 2011-2012, aged > 60 years were classified as high or normal (<200ng/ml) SF. BMD at femoral nec...
متن کاملTail-bone Densitometry as a Technique for Measuring Bone Mineral Status in Cattle
The paper describes the development and use of a bone densitometer (single photon absorptiometer) for the field measurement of bone mineral density in cattle. The densitometer consisted of a radioactive source of 241Americium a sodium iodide detector plus photomultiplier tube, counter and ratemeter linked to a computer. The source and detector were mounted in a “U-shaped” frame which clamped ov...
