| Popis: | In this study, we tested the hypothesis that hypertrophic cell volume varies directly with the rate of longitudinal bone growth. The volume of hypertrophic chondrocytes (using stereological techniques) and longitudinal bone growth per 24 h (using oxytetracycline labeling techniques) were measured in the proximal and distal radial growth plates and the proximal and distal tibial growth plates of 21- and 35-day-old hooded rats and 21- and 35-day-old Yucatan pigs. We demonstrated a high coefficient of correlation (rats 0.98, pigs 0.83) between the final volume of hypertrophic chondrocytes and the rate of longitudinal bone growth over a wide range of growth rates and volumes of hypertrophic chondrocytes. In addition, we demonstrated a positive linear relationship between the rate of longitudinal bone growth and the final volume of hypertrophic chondrocytes. The slope of the regression line was different for rats than for pigs. The relationship was independent of the location of the growth plate in the animal and the age of the animal. The data suggest that mechanisms regulating volume changes in hypertrophic chondrocytes may exist and that chondrocytic volume increase is a major determinant of the rate of longitudinal bone growth. However, the relative contribution of cellular hypertrophy to longitudinal bone growth may be different in rats than in pigs. |
