Abstract
Ca absorption, excretion and balance were determined in young, mature and aged mice ingesting a lysine-deficient diet. Age had no affect on these parameters. Lysine deficiency, in all age groups, resulted in a marked increase in urinary Ca excretion, unaccompanied by any significant changes in bone composition.Keywords
