| Abstract | When bone is remodeled during the growth of a given size bone to a larger size, some bone is resorbed and some is deposited. Much of the resorbed bone mineral, calcium, can be reutilized during bone formation. The net and absolute effects of normal growth, vitamin D deficiency, or vitamin D excess were compared on bone resorption, bone formation, and calcium reutilization. Growing chicks were prelabeled extensively with three isotopes: (45)Ca, [(3)H]tetracycline, and [(3)H]proline. Data were obtained weekly during 3 weeks of control growth, vitamin D deficiency, or vitamin D overdosage while on a nonradioactive diet. Bone resorption as measured by increases in the marrow (inner) diameter of the midshaft of the femur and humerus and by the weekly losses of total [(3)H]tetracycline and [(3)H]collagen per whole bone was not significantly different among any of the groups studied. The data indicated that the high rate of cortical bone resorption in experimental chicks was not increased above that observed in experimental chicks was not increased above that observed in control chicks. Vitamin D deficiency had little effect on the total (45)Ca in whole bones, whereas vitamin D-treated chicks lost 40% of their (45)Ca. Thus, vitamin D overdosage resulted in a decrease of (45)Ca reutilization, whereas vitamin D deficiency resulted in an apparent increase of (45)Ca reutilization. Both vitamin D-deficient and vitamin D-treated chicks had a decreased accumulation of dietary calcium per whole bone. The insufficient mineral mass in vitamin D-deficient chicks resulted from the indirect inhibition of bone mineralization due to the low intestinal absorption of calcium rather than from a change in bone resorption. In vitamin D-treated chicks the apparent bone atrophy and net loss of (45)Ca from bone resulted from inhibiting bone matrix formation and mineralization instead of increasing bone resorption. The constancy of bone resorption under these experimental conditions suggests that bone mineralization is the major regulator of bone mass. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
