[The nutritive utilization of phosphorus in dietary calcium deprivation (author's transl)]. 1979

M P Navarro, and A Murillo

The influence of alimentary calcium deprivation on the nutritional utilization of phosphorus and its corporal retention, after ingestion of diethylstilbesterol has been studied in quail. When female quail are given a highly calcium-deficient diet, egg-laying stops and there follows a substantial decrease in phosphorus utilization and retention, as well as a clear drop in bone mineralization, with calcium and phosphorus content losses in the femur. In males, deprivation of alimentary calcium shows tangible effects on phosphorus retention only when this situation concurs with prior ingestion of diethylstilbestrol.

D009753	Nutritive Value	An indication of the contribution of a food to the nutrient content of the diet. This value depends on the quantity of a food which is digested and absorbed and the amounts of the essential nutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrate, minerals, vitamins) which it contains. This value can be affected by soil and growing conditions, handling and storage, and processing.

D011784	Quail	Common name for two distinct groups of BIRDS in the order GALLIFORMES: the New World or American quails of the family Odontophoridae and the Old World quails in the genus COTURNIX, family Phasianidae.	Quails
D002113	Calcification, Physiologic	Process by which organic tissue becomes hardened by the physiologic deposit of calcium salts.	Bone Mineralization,Calcification, Physiological,Physiologic Calcification,Mineralization, Bone,Physiological Calcification
D002118	Calcium	A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D004054	Diethylstilbestrol	A synthetic nonsteroidal estrogen used in the treatment of menopausal and postmenopausal disorders. It was also used formerly as a growth promoter in animals. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), diethylstilbestrol has been listed as a known carcinogen.
