Abstract

The activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in rabbit costal chondrocytes in culture markedly increased after addition of parathyroid hormone (PTH), reaching a maximum 4 to 5 h after PTH addition. The effect of PTH was dose-dependent both in the presence and absence of fetal calf serum. Addition of cycloheximide or actinomycin D prevented the induction of ODC by PTH. Calcitonin, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and vitamin A had no stimulatory effect on the activity of ODC, and did not inhibit the induction of ODC by PTH, when added with PTH.
