pubmed:abstractText |
The elemental composition of growth plate cartilage from calf scapula has been studied by means of SRIXE. X-ray emission spectra were obtained from the resting, hypertrophic and calcified regions of cartilage; then, each element was mapped with a lateral definition of about 10 microns x 10 microns. Evidence was found for a homogeneous distribution of the elements in resting cartilage compared to changes in local concentration of some atoms in the hypertrophic-calcified tissue. In this zone Ca, Sr, Ni, Zn, S, reach the maximal concentration at the calcification front while Cu shows a uniform distribution. A Zn distribution similar to that of the Zn-containing enzyme alkaline phosphatase, the key enzyme of calcification, is found.
