Effect of diphosphonates on glycogen content of rabbit ear cartilage cells in culture

The diphosphonates dichloromethanediphosphonate (Cl2MDP) and to a minor degree 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonate (EDHP) increased the glycogen content in cultured cartilage cells of rabbit ear. This effect was not due to different concentrations of glucose in the medium.
