The effect of dietary supplements on bone turnover as measured using markers, calcium absorption and bone calcification. Mechanisms involved in the process of calcium absorption as modulated by vitamin D, oestrogen and fatty acids

Feeding studies are done using essential fatty acids. In animals modulation of calcium absorption and bone calcification are investigated
