Abstract
Summary 1. The calcium metabolism of adult rats (1 year old) has been compared with that of young growing rats (2 months old) by balance studies and tracer calcium. 2. In the adult rats the mass of exchangeable calcium, bone anabolism, bone catabolism, intestinal absorption and balance are reduced; but urinary excretion of calcium remains unchanged. 3. Similarities were noted between the effects of aging and those previously reported for hypophysectomy.Keywords
