Abstract

The function of the epiphyseal plate is related to the differentiation and maturation of the chondrocytes, especially of the hypertrophic zone. Salmon calcitonin exerts a positive effect on chondrocytes of different types of cartilage, e.g., articular cartilage, osteochondral callus formation, and the epiphyseal plate. In the present study, the effect of long-term daily salmon calcitonin treatment upon epiphyseal plate function was examined in 80 male Wistar rats aged 12 weeks at the beginning of the experiment. A daily dose of 6 IU of salmon calcitonin enhanced the number of the chondrocytes of the hypertrophic zone of the upper tibial epiphyseal plate, increased the mean thickness of the epiphyseal plate, and accelerated the longitudinal growth of long bones. It was found that the peripheral growth of the epiphyseal plate was delayed after calcitonin treatment in comparison with the placebo-treated animals. The most effective period for calcitonin treatment on epiphyseal plate function seems to be the late accelerated period of growth, i.e., puberty. In conclusion, long-term salmon calcitonin treatment has a beneficial effect on longitudinal skeletal growth and this effect remains throughout the adult life of the animal. Salmon calcitonin does not enlarge the surface of the epiphyseal plate.
