Popis: This report describes a study of the calcium metabolism, surface chemistry, and crystal texture of the bone of normal and lysine-deficient rats. Data are presented which indicate that a dietary lysine deficiency was associated with a decrease in the skeletal deposition of radiocalcium, and that this was due, in part at least, to a failure in bone growth. The probable mechanisms of isotope fixation under these conditions are discussed.
