Otoconial mineralization has been studied in the utricle of post-natal rats, i.e. from birth to the 20th day. Calcium microanalytically detected is seen to decrease progressively until, after 20 days, when the level is rather lower than at birth. In the adult animal the calcium value is much higher, which leads us to believe that there is an immediate calcium loss that is later recovered. Calcium in the peripheral areas of the macula is proportionately less than in the central part.
耳石矿化已在出生后大鼠的椭圆囊中进行了研究，即从出生到第20天。通过微量分析检测到的钙含量逐渐下降，直到20天后，此时的水平比出生时要低得多。在成年动物中，钙值要高得多，这使我们相信存在立即的钙流失，随后又会恢复。黄斑周边区域的钙含量按比例低于中央部分。
