A randomized clinical intervention trial to determine effects of lactation and 1 g of calcium
(Ca) on bone remodeling was conducted in 15 women (calcium= 7, placebo [P]= 8)�…

Lactation is a time of calcium flux, because women secrete approximately 210 mg
calcium/day in breast milk, and they experience a transient bone loss. The objectives of this�…

Background Adolescent mothers may be at increased risk of irreversible bone loss during
pregnancy and lactation, particularly when calcium intake is low. Objective Longitudinal�…

Background Low calcium intake during pregnancy may cause maternal skeletal calcium
mobilization to meet fetal needs. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for calcium in�…

The effect of 18 months of lactation on indexes of calcium and bone metabolism was studied
in 60 Gambian women accustomed to a very low calcium intake. Half the women consumed�…

Pregnancy invokes a doubling of intestinal calcium absorption whereas lactation programs
skeletal resorption to provide calcium to milk. Postweaning bone formation restores the�…

The postpartum period can be a time when profound changes in calcium metabolism and
bone mineral density (BMD) occur, particularly in association with lactation. We investigated�…

Ten women were followed serially to determine the effect of stages of reproduction on
calcium and bone metabolism. The study periods were nonpregnant nonlactating, the end of�…

This longitudinal study evaluated bone turnover and the interrelationship between changes
in bone biomarkers and habitual dietary calcium intake during pregnancy in a group of�…

Background: Few data exist on longitudinal changes in bone calcium turnover rates across
pregnancy and lactation. Objective: Our aim was to characterize calcium kinetic variables�…
