Calcium and magnesium deficiency-induced atrophy of muscle and calcium accumulation in the spinal cord.
After severe dietary calcium-magnesium deficiency in rats, succinic dehydrogenase and acetylcholinesterase enzyme activity of gastrocnemius muscle showed a neurogenic atrophy. This alteration was associated with a high concentration of calcium in the spinal cord.
