Effcts of supplemental dietary Ca and vitamin D on lipid distribution and aortic mineralization were examined in young goats. Twenty-four goats, 2-4 wk of age, were allotted 1 of 4 dietary treatments for a 20-wk period and fed a basal milk diet (Basal), a Ca-supplemented diet (Basal + Ca), a cholecalciferol-enriched diet (Basal + D3) or a diet with both Ca and cholecalciferol (Basal + Ca + D3). Goats in the Basal + Ca group had plasma cholesterol concentrations that were 16.6% of those of the Basal group. Percentage absorption and fecal excretion of total lipids were unaffected by dietary treatment. Generally, total lipid and cholesterol concentrations were unaltered in liver, other viscera and carcass tissues. Dietary cholecalciferol increased concentrations of cholesterol and total lipid in aortas, whereas dietary Ca decreased total lipids in aortas. Concentrations of Ca, Mg and total ash were increased in aortas by dietary treatment, with a marked increase observed in the Basal + Ca + D3 group. Sudan IV and gross Ca staining in aortas revealed both lipid and mineral deposition that confirmed composition data. A high intake of vitamin D accompanied by excessive intake of Ca seems to accelerate the development of atherosclerosis. Supplemental Ca with normal amounts of vitamin D is hypocholesterolemic and seems protective against the atherogenic process.
