DRI DIETARY REFERENCE INTAKES FOR Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Vitamin D, and Fluoride
FIGURE 5-2 Serum phosphorus concentrations in lactating and non-lactating women. The dotted lines represent the normal range for non-lactating women. The circles represent the serum phosphorus levels of lactating women (Bryne et al., 1987; Chan et al., 1982b; Cross et al., 1995a; Dobnig et al., 1995; Kalkwarf et al., 1996; Kent et al., 1990; Lopez et al., 1996; Specker et al., 1991a).
increased during lactation. Apparently, increased bone resorption and decreased urinary excretion of phosphorus (Kent et al., 1990), which occur independent of dietary intake of phosphorus or calcium, provide the necessary phosphorus for milk production. Therefore, the EAR and RDA are estimated to be similar to that obtained for nonlactating women of their respective age groups.
