Fifty-three pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were studied with respect to the distribution of dietary Ca45 under conditions of calcium deficiency as compared with control conditions. In contrast to a previous study, the animals were sacrificed 1 hour after administration of the tracer. This was done to prevent mobilization of Ca45, which had entered the skeletons of the maternal animals, from contributing to the maternal-fetal distribution pattern of dietary Ca45. Results supported previous findings that the placenta is not capable of compensation in the face of calcium deficiency.
