[Effect of the diet with different microelement composition on the state of alveolar and pelvic bones in rats]
Abstract:
During this experimental study with 6 week-old rats the rate of alveolar bone resorption increased with the balanced diet and drinking water containing 50 mg/l NaF, which is similar to the group of rats observed in case of periodontitis model with the same diet and supplemented with ammonium chloride 5 mg/kg. The mineral complex (Mg-sulfat, Zn-sulfat, Mr-sulfat, Na-citrat) 300 mg/kg possessing a pronounced anti acidosis effect when added to the same balanced diet and sodium fluoride in drinking water with the same concentration prevents resorption processes in the alveolar bone and reduces toxicity action of fluorides on the alveolar and pelvic bones by decreasing metabolic acidosis in the bone tissue.

Essential Minerals for Bone Health
Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...
Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor during the formation of osteoblast-related proteins, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin B12 plays a role...
