Abstract:
Oral calcium tablets were given daily for 180 days to ovariectomized Beagle dams (n = 4). Total serum calcium, and bone mineral content of midshaft femur were measured and compared to that of the controls (ovariectomized alone, n = 4). The bone mineral density was significantly higher in the calcium supplemented dogs (p less than 0.01).
