1. A series of balance experiments to compare calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate and calcium gluconate as sources of calcium for laying hens is described.2. Not one of the three supplements showed all-round superiority, but calcium sulphate was the worst.3. The main results indicate that:(a) Calcium sulphate and gluconate cause scouring but carbonate does not.(b) The best retention of calcium occurs with gluconate and the worst with sulphate.(c) Calcium carbonate gives the best shells and calcium sulphate the worst.4. The experiments also throw fresh light on some more general aspects of calcium and phosphorus metabolism.5. On the basis of these general results and a review of the literature of blood calcium and phosphorus in laying hens a theory dealing with certain aspects of egg-shell formation is presented.

An experiment has been performed on the effect of sulphanilamide on the calcium and phosphorus metabolism of laying hens.The results showed a decrease in calcium retention and thinner shelled eggs, when sulphanilamide was fed.When the drug was withdrawn the birds took some time to reach normal balance values again, but they immediately produced normally shelled eggs.The results of this experiment, along with a previous experiment, have been considered from other points of view in an attempt to find an explanation of some slightly divergent results. Relationships between calcium retained and calcium in shell and between calcium balance and phosphorus balance have been found and the values for changes in calcium bound to phosphorus and residual calcium in bone have been calculated. These considerations have helped to clear up the discrepancies, and it would appear that sulphanilamide effects may be influenced by season, and by calcium and phosphorus intake.

ABSTRACT A study of calcium and phosphorus metabolism has been carried out on 13 acromegalic patients, in various stages of the disease. This study was repeated in nine patients following implantation of the pituitary gland with 90Y and in another two patients after deep X-ray therapy and suction removal of a pituitary adenoma respectively. Increased urinary calcium and phosphorus excretion was found in all the patients in whom the disease was in an active phase of evolution. The calcium tolerance test revealed a marked decrease of calcium retention in certain subjects, while in others, calcium retention was found to be increased. Such changes were not found in patients in whom the disease was in a quiescent phase. The blood calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase were found to be either normal or slightly increased. The implantation of the pituitary gland with 90Y and deep X-ray therapy induced a marked decrease of hypercalciuria, both spontaneous and induced, and of hyperphosphaturia, together with a definite improvement, of the clinical picture and glucose metabolism. It is concluded that the changes in calcium and phosphorus metabolism described above depend either directly or indirectly on a pituitary factor. They may therefore prove a reliable index for assessing pituitary growth hormone activity.
