Abstract
The electrical conductivity of intact bone, collagen and apatite mineral was determined in the region of moderately high fields. After exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation the conductivity of the specimens was redetermined. Following exposure marked decreases in electrical conductivity occurred in all specimens. The possible modes of interaction of UV radiation with bone are discussed. It is suggested that protonic conduction may be an important mode of charge transport in bone.Entities:
