2). However, although their data revealed an inverse relationship between osteon wall thickness (On.W.Th) and osteocyte lacuna density (Ot.Lc.N/B.Ar; B.Ar = bone area within a secondary osteon), it was weak (r = ?0.39, P http://www.selleckchem.com/products/carfilzomib-pr-171.html Ot.Lc.N/B.Ar with Haversian canal area (HC.Ar) and HC.Ar/On.Ar (On.Ar = osteon area). Both of these comparisons in human rib osteons, however, showed no or little correlation (r = 0.011 and 0.104, respectively), and only the latter is positive and statistically different from no correlation. Regardless of the specific mechanism(s) involved, Martin and coworkers' important hypothesis has not been examined in other bones and/or for potential influences of osteon size. The only studies that we could locate have examined osteons in cortices of elderly human proximal femora (no consideration for osteon size; Power et al., 2001, 2002), which could be confounded by the effects of bone disease (e.g., osteoporosis) and/or aging (Britz et al., 2009). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YES1 Influences of osteon size on the putative inverse relationship of Ot.Lc.N/B.Ar with On.W.Th http://www.selleckchem.com/products/azd9291.html could occur in proportion to the efficiency with which the proposed inhibitory signal can be transmitted from one osteocyte to another (e.g., through a neural-like network) or delivered (e.g., convective transport of sclerostin in lacunar�Ccanalicular spaces) across the osteon wall. In a mathematical analysis dealing with the duration and extent of osteon infilling, Martin (2000a) argued that if the osteocyte-network signal decayed slowly as the osteon progressively infilled, then the strength of the inhibitory signal at the canal surface would depend on osteon size. But if the signal decayed relatively rapidly, then the signal would not increase very much once an osteon's wall exceeds ?100�C120 ��m (Fig. 3), constraining potential increases in osteon size. Similar arguments could be made on the basis of the ��transport�� of sclerostin via convective fluid flow through the interstitial microporosities of the osteon wall. Regardless of the nature of the putative inhibitory ��signal�� and how it is ��transmitted�� or ��delivered,�� we hypothesize that if it is produced by osteocytes and is negatively correlated with the degree of osteon infilling, then in fully formed osteons: (1) it should be detected as an inverse relationship between On.W.Th and Ot.Lc.N/B.Ar and (2) this inverse relationship should be influenced by osteon size.
