Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGadolinium at Low Concentration Suppresses both Osteoclastic and Osteoblastic Activities in the Scales of GoldfishNobuo Suzuki, Kazuki Watanabe, Aika Sekimoto et al.For determining the effect of environmental pollutants on fish bone metabolism, we have developed an in vitro bioassay system using teleost scales that has osteoclasts, osteoblasts and bone matrix as markers: alkaline phosphatase (ALP) for osteoblasts and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) for osteoclasts. Using this bioassay, the influence of gadolinium (Gd) on osteoclasts and osteoblasts of goldfish scales was examined … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 20 Sep 2019 · 8,451 accessesView PDF Cite
