TL;DR: Noninvasive techniques for monitoring bone resorption have received a great deal of research interest in recent years, driven partly by the increasing incidence of osteoporotic bone fractures, with their attendant social and economic costs.
Abstract: Noninvasive techniques for monitoring bone resorption have received a great deal of research interest in recent years, driven partly by the increasing incidence of osteoporotic bone fractures, with their attendant social and economic costs. Demographic changes suggest that osteoporosis is likely to become an increasing problem but there are now also an increasing number of treatment strategies for the disease. Suitable means of measuring bone resorption rates are therefore important not only as an aid to detecting those at risk but also for effective monitoring of therapy. These arguments, particularly in terms of monitoring therapy, are equally important for many other metabolic bone diseases.

TL;DR: Data show that selenium can play an important role in determining the severity of the hypothyroidism associated with iodine deficiency, and in rats deficient in both trace elements, type II deiodinase activity was significantly higher and in pituitary, significantly lower in combined deficiency than in iodine deficiency alone.

TL;DR: In this paper, the losses of nitrogen in the faeces and urine of sixty pigs of approximately 33 kg, given dietary regimens comprising twenty-nine combinations of fish flour and maize starch (0-1200 g/d), were made measurements and developed a generalized equation describing N retention as a joint function of N intake and starch intake.
Abstract: 1. Measurements were made of the losses of nitrogen in the faeces and urine of sixty pigs of approximately 33 kg, given dietary regimens comprising twenty-nine combinations of fish flour (0-800 g/d) and maize starch (0-1200 g/d). 2. The results were used to develop a generalized equation describing N retention as a joint function of N intake and starch intake. 3. The protein-sparing effect of starch was exerted in all circumstances. It was greatest when protein intake exceeded 220 g/d but some effect persisted with protein-free diets. With a high protein supply, the increase in N retention per unit increase in dietary starch decreased from 36 mg/g with the first increment to 3 mg/g with the highest attainable starch intake. 4. From the generalized equation the relationships between net protein utilization and protein concentration and food intake could be described as continuous functions. The equations may be of use in comparing the protein values of diets measured under non-standardized conditions.
