Background:

Mechanical loads on bone generate bioelectrical signals influencing repair and remodeling.
Electrokinetic phenomena, specifically streaming potentials, are proposed mechanisms for this signal generation in wet bone.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the contribution of bone constituents to electrokinetic behavior.
To analyze streaming potentials in bone under varying conditions.

Main Methods:

Streaming potential experiments were conducted on intact wet bone plugs.
Bone samples were subjected to chemical treatments and tested in phosphate buffers.
Pressure-dependent streaming potentials were measured and analyzed in the linear region.

Main Results:

Organic constituents of bone significantly influence streaming potentials.
Estimated zeta potentials from streaming potentials showed trends consistent with particle electrophoresis data.

Conclusions:

The organic matrix of bone plays a dominant role in its electrokinetic response to mechanical stimuli.
Streaming potential measurements offer a viable method for assessing bone's electrokinetic properties.
