Abstract
Summary
Measurements of concentrative calcium transport by the rat small intestine in vitro were made in preparations from vitamin D deficient and vitamin D fed magnesium deficient and control rats. The effects of vitamin D treatment on serum calcium and citrate concentrations of hypomagnesemic and control rats were also measured. These studies indicate that magnesium deficient rats are less responsive to physiologic amounts of vitamin D than control rats.
