title: [Evaluation of the effect of diet composition and its supplementation with selected B vitamins on distribution of calcium and magnesium in the body].
abstract: The aim of the study was to estimate, on an animal model, the influence of diet composition and its supplementation with selected B vitamins on distribution of calcium and magnesium in the body. The change in diet composition was found to significantly reduce the calcium contents in the liver and blood of males as well as in the liver and kidney of females. The change enhanced calcium and magnesium accumulation in the skeletal muscles of the animals examined. In females, the effect was augmented by supplementation. The vitamin supplementation applied was conducive to incorporation into the bones calcium in males and magnesium in females, respectively. Analysis of the results allows to conclude that both the change in the diet composition and the supplementation of the diet modified by selected B vitamins significantly affected distribution of calcium and magnesium between different organs and tissues of the animals examined and probably modified the functional status of the organs and tissues in question. The magnitude and direction of the changes in most parameters analysed were sex-dependent.
