Popis:	Twenty Yorkshire piglets, weaned at approximately 4 weeks of age were used in this study designed to study the variation in the plasma alkaline phosphatase levels as influenced by dietary calcium and phosphorus and 3% Cestrum diurnum ingestion. Plasma alkaline phosphatase values decreased significantly in the pigs fed either normal calcium: phosphorus or low calcium: high phosphorus diets supplemented with 3% C. diurnum. The decrease in the enzyme values was attributed to the observed histological lesion of retarded osteocytic osteolysis and chondrolysis due to the direct toxic action of C. diurnum factor(s) on resorbing osteocytes.
