Abstract
Summary Experiments on adult female cats have demonstrated, as measured by roentgenographic appearance, microradio-graphic data, and tetracycline labeling, the influence of dietary levels of calcium on the structure of bone. It is shown that a low-calcium diet will produce osteoporosis in the adult cat and that this can be reversed by a high-calcium diet.
