Malnutrition is a condition resulting from a diet deficient in calories, macronutrients such as protein and carbohydrates, and/or vitamins and minerals. Malnutrition is associated with many different bone diseases due to its effect on the bone extracellular matrix. Predict the effect on bone health of a diet deficient in minerals such as calcium salts. Of the three bone samples you tested in Exercise 7-2, which one would most resemble a diet deficient in calcium salts? Explain. Testing in Ex7-2. Obtain and place three pieces of bone on a tray, including a. one piece of untreated bone; b. one piece of bone that has been baked in an oven for a minimum of two hours; and c. one piece of bone that has been soaked in nitric acid.
