To study the effect of oral supplemental calcium on colonic epithelial proliferation, 17 adenomatous polyp patients received 1.5 g Ca2+ as calcium carbonate daily during 12 weeks, while on a calcium constant diet, based on the patients' habitual diet. Seven subsequently continued calcium supplementation for 9 months without dietary restrictions. Epithelial proliferation rate in colonic biopsies, expressed as labelling index (%), was determined with 5-bromodeoxyuridine and immunohistochemistry. Biopsies were taken from the midsigmoid at time of polyp excision and at the end of the intervention period. Median labelling index increased from 6.1% before to 8.7% after 12 weeks calcium (n = 17, P |
