Diets low in phosphate (0.06 per cent) but adequate in calcium (0.6 per cent) when fed to rats caused a rise in the citrate content of the femur compared with the normal value of 0.53 per cent. If the diet was also deficient in vitamin D the bone contained 0.8 per cent citrate, when the vitamin intake was normal the bone citrate was also 0.8 per cent. When the vitamin intake was excessive the bone citrate rose to a value of 1.0 per cent.
