Abstract
Neutral polysaccharides which became partially converted into strongly acidic polysaccharides were present in the enamel matrix of the first maxillary molar of rats aged 2-16 days. These polysaccharides may serve as a framework on which the Ca salts are deposited. An intracellular (sudanophilic) unsaturated-lipid which probably serves as a source of reserve energy for the cell, and an intercellular lipid (a lipoportein) which may play a role in calcification were detected.Keywords
