This study was conducted to investigate the effect of calcium and boron intakes on calcium utilization in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. Rats were divided into 9 groups and fed diets containing various levels of calcium (0.1%, 0.5%, 1.5%) and boron (0.5 ppm, 50ppm, 100ppm) for 4 weeks. The half of rats in each group were ovariectomized and the others were sham-operated. Rats were fed same diets for 8 weeks after operation. Feed intake and weight gain were significantly increased as the dietary calcium was increased and those of OVX group were higher than in sham-operated group.
