Steady-state relationship of calcium-45 between bone and blood: differences in growing dogs, chicks, and rats
Description
In young animals that had received multiple doses of calcium-45, a constant ratio of calcium-45 specific activity in blood to that in bone was found in growing dogs and chicks but not in rats. This steady-state relationship of calcium-45 between bone and blood suggests that during growth in dogs and chicks most of the skeletal calcium is an active state of turnover. In growing rats, after the first 2 weeks of life, the blood/bone ratio of calcium-45 decreases due to a decrease in bone resorption
