Conclusions
(1) The relation between the lowering effects of Ct on plasma-Ca and-PO4 and bone turnover rate was confirmed in humans. (2) The changes in plasma measured after CT must be due to a decrease of bone resorption rate. (3) The changes of Ca-, PO4- and Mg-excretion are secondary to changes of renal tubular transport. (4) The change of hydroxyproline-excretion is secondary to the decrease of plasma-hydroxyproline.
