Effect of Dietary Calcium Levels on Production and Reversal of Experimental Osteoporosis in Cats.

Effect of Dietary Calcium Levels on Production and Reversal of Experimental Osteoporosis in Cats.

Summary Experiments on adult female cats have demonstrated, as measured by roentgenographic appearance, microradio-graphic data, and tetracycline labeling, the influence of dietary levels of calcium on the structure of bone. It is shown that a low-calcium diet will produce osteoporosis in the adult...

Zusammenfassung:Summary Experiments on adult female cats have demonstrated, as measured by roentgenographic appearance, microradio-graphic data, and tetracycline labeling, the influence of dietary levels of calcium on the structure of bone. It is shown that a low-calcium diet will produce osteoporosis in the adult cat and that this can be reversed by a high-calcium diet.
