The Effects Produced by Decreasing the Calcium and Phosphorus Intake on Calcium and Phosphorus Absorption and Deposition and on Various Bodily Constituents of the Rat

Summary of a report that studied the effects of lowering the calcium and phosphorus intake of albino rats one week after they were weaned. They discovered that the amounts of calcium and phosphorus were lowered however they did keep appearing even when the bare minimum was used. This in turn affected the wet weight, dry weight, ash and calcium and phosphorus levels in the rats' bones.
