Abstract
Summary
The change in plasma phosphate concentration was studied in unanesthetized dogs by continuously infusing calcium gluconate or Na2EDTA intravenously at a constant rate until the plasma calcium obtained a steady state. The changes in plasma phosphate concentration in the normal and thyroparathyroidectomized animals were primarily dependent on the rate of calcium infusion and independent of both thyroid and parathyroid glands together.
