Studies on calcium homeostasis in the fetal Yucatan miniature pig.
Along with parallel studies with a conventional breed of pig, the Yucatan breed has been investigated for studies on the mechanisms of calcium homeostasis in the fetus. The results obtained were similar for the two breeds. The smaller size and better disposition of the Yucatan breed make it preferable for further studies in this field.
