It has not yet been examined whether salivary calcium levels reflect changes in bone mass. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between salivary calcium concentration and differences in bone mineral density due to estrogen deficiency and/or different calcium intake levels in female rats. In Experiment 1. the animals (n=14) were divided into an ovariectomized group (OVX) (n=8, 0.6% calcium diet) and a sham-operated group (Sham) (n=6, 0.6% calcium diet). The bone mineral density (BMD) levels of the tibia and lumbar spine were significantly lower in the OVX group than in the Sham group (p
