Figure 4

Effects of Ca deficiency on serum levels of lipid risk factors. Since the serum levels of HDL-cholesterols and triglyceride in calcium deficient group were insignificantly different from the normal Ca group (p > 0.05), a comparison between calcium deficiency and supplementation was used to better see the Ca effects. The LDL- and HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride from diluted serum samples were measured using an automation system in a clinical laboratory. There were 11 matched littermates between high and low calcium groups.
