ABSTRACT
Supplementation of sodium sulfate and DL-methionine along with the standard diet to guinea pigs nearly doubled the urinary calcium in 6 weeks. This was probably due to decreased tubular reabsorption of calcium which was complexed with sulfate in the tubular lumen. A mild calcium load didn't further enhance calcium excretion in sodium sulfate supplemented group, but did so in methionine supplemented group. It may be due to methionine which might have increased the intestinal absorption of calcium. Both of these compounds increased citric acid excretion and decreased magnesium excretion.
