Abstract
Calcium metabolism and hypertension may be interrelated in the SH/WKy rat model. Results of calcium balance studies in this hypertensive model have been conflicting. Malabsorptive disease causing steatorrhea can cause variability in calcium balance. To test this hypothesis we measured balances of fat, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus in ad lib fed 12 week old males from the two strains. Balances of fat, calcium and magnesium was the same in SH and WKy, but phosphorus balance was lower in SH. We conclude that despite the differences in calcium metabolism between SH and WKy, fat and calcium balance do not differ, and homeostasis is maintained in both strains. The conflicting results of balance studies cannot be attributed to malabsorption.
