Calcium Metabolism in Children Recovering from Severe Protein‐Energy Malnutrition

“…given the high incidence of intestinal lactase deficiency in this condition. Some investigators have proposed that lactose-free milk be used (5,6), and this raises a further issue related to Ca metabolism, because lactose has been shown to be a stimulant of Ca absorption under several experimental conditions (7)(8)(9)(10). Conversely, lactose malabsorption has been in the diet did not affect inte stinal calcium absorption.…”

“…Such an adrenalectomized animal, like Dragstedt's thyroparathyroidectomized dogs (Dragstedt, 1923), is very vulnerable to a meat diet, and its postoperative life can be markedly shortened by such a meatrich diet.…”
