Abstract

The elemental changes of biopsy specimens obtained from the human lumbar yellow ligaments were studied by quantitative electron probe X-ray microanalysis on both glutaraldehyde-fixed Epon-embedded sections and unfixed freeze-dried cryosections. Much higher soluble amounts of Ca and P in the unmineralized fibrocartilage zone were found in specimens obtained from older patients than in those from younger ones.
