A theoretical model for calcium absorption from the intestinal lumen
Abstract
A theoretical model is developed for the absorption of calcium in the human gut and a mathematical description of the model is written. For simplicity, only three compartments are considered to derive a kinetic equation which can be fit to plasma activity measurements following oral ingestion of radiotracer calcium. Initial tests show good success in correlating total fractional absorption of calcium.
