The Effect of Calcium in Maintaining Normal Levels of Serum Cholesterol and Phospholipids in Rabbits During Acute Starvation

The rise in serum cholesterol and phospholipid levels observed in acute starvation in rabbits could be overcome by forced feeding calcium carbonate at a level of 2 gm. per day. Increasing the dose of calcium carbonate to 4 gm. per day had no further effect on serum cholesterol and phospholipid levels. The elevation of serum triglyceride levels in starvation was unaffected by the administration of calcium. Forced feeding calcium carbonate prevented the decrease in serum calcium observed during a four day starvation period.
