Figure 7

The inhibitory effect of calcium supplementation for 4 months on the dietary cholesterol-induced accumulation of mineral and soluble Ca/phosphate in aortas. The mineral content was expressed as the levels of the Ca (upper panel) and phosphate (lower panel) in 1% acetic acid-soluble fractions of 800 × g precipitates obtained from collagenase digestion of 1-cm aortas [8]. The soluble forms of Ca and phosphate were expressed as the Ca and phosphate content in the supernatant fractions, which were obtained by ultracentrifugation of the collagenase digests at 250,000 × g for 30 min.
