| Abstract: | The aim of this thesis is to characterise the oophorectomised rat model for post menopausal bone loss by determining the effect of oophorectomy on calcium balance and the components of calcium balance in young and adult rats. The study utilises the metabolic calcium balance technique for this purpose. Many of the characteristics of the animal model are described particularly in terms of the effects of oophorectomy on bone histomorphometry and metabolic markers of bone turnover. The study characterises the changes in calcium balance and its components through the growth period. |
