ResumoA diet low in Ca (< 0.03 per cent) but adequate in vitamin D when fed to the rat results in a 50 per cent elevation of bone citrate above the normal value. A diet deficient in vitamin D but adequate in calcium causes a small drop in bone citrate. A diet deficient in both vitamin D and calcium results in a bone citrate value which is only half the normal figure. Calcium and vitamin D mutually mitigate a deficiency of the other in maintaining the synthesis of bone citrate.
