Effects of dairy constituents on calcium bioavailability : impact on utilization as indexed by bone mineral composition and biomechanics

Calcium bioavailability was investigated using isotopic intestinal absorption, and balance study techniques with bone mineralization and biomechanics as endpoint determinants of calcium utilization. In experiment 1, lactose enhancement of paracellular calcium absorption was confirmed, and it was sug...
