Description

Vitamin D Free Diet has been used to study role of Vitamin D in carbohydrate metabolism. Vitamin D deficient diet given to rats at the end of the first week of pregnancy, the suckling pups show evidence of hypocalcemic, hypophosphatemic rickets at age 15-21 day.

The diet contains all nutrients (except Vitamin D) required by the rat, and when cholecalciferol is added (5 IU/gm diet), the diet provides growth and reproduction equal to that of commercial stock diets.

  • Using whole wheat as the source of carbohydrate the rats experience better growth and development than with mono or disaccharides
  • There is some evidence, however, to suggest that Vitamin D depletion may occur more rapidly with sucrose as the carbohydrate source
  • The calcium content of the diet can be varied by changing the amount of CaCO3 added
  • The phosphorous content can be increased from approximately 0.35% (the wheat flour contains most of the phosphorous and the casein a small and variable amount) by the addition of potassium diphosphate
  • When the D deficient diet (which contains 0.4% Ca and 0.4% P) is given to rats (Holtzman Co.) at the end of the first week of pregnancy, the suckling pups show evidence of hypocalcemic, hypophosphatemic rickets at age 15-21 days, as described in A. Boass, W.K. Ramp, and S.U. Toverud: New studies indicate a Glucose diet combined with Calcium restriction or Vitamin D deprivation interferes with the adaptive increase in plasma 1, 25 (OH)2 D3
