Table 4.

Synthesis of RANK by human macrophages is modulated by both hydrostatic pressure and 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D₃

No. Cycles/ Experiment period (days)	No Pressure			Plus Pressure
	- D₃	+ D₃(10-9M)	+ D₃(10-7M)	- D₃	+ D₃(10-9M)	+ D₃(10-7M)
1	-/+	+	+/++	+	+/++	++
4	+	+/++	++	+	++	+++

MP were cultured as described in text and and cultures were scored for the proportion of RANK-positive cells, where "+/-" is some positive cells, "+" all positive cells, "+/++"all positive cells & staining more intense and "+++" is the most intense staining. Results are the means from separate experiments.
