Abstract
The effect of vitamin D on deposition of bone constituents in femur of rats fed diets providing 9 per cent of protein with and without added zinc or 18 per cent of protein with added zinc was investigated. Addition of calciferol to the diet significantly increased the concentration of zinc in femurs of rats fed 9 or 18 per cent of protein. The results indicate that the effect of vitamin D on deposition of zinc in bone is not a secondary effect related to calcification and bone growth.
