Parathyroid hormone-induced osteoclast cell differentiation in the primary cells of neonatal mouse was cultured in bovine cortical bone to evaluate the changes in bone ion composition during resorption. Osteoclast-induced bone resorption reduces the sodium to calcium ion ration by increasing the efflux of bone calcium. Underlying bone minerals were also exposed due to the reduction of calcium and potassium ion levels on the bone surface during osteoclast-induced resorption.
