Effects of Pregnancy on Serum Calcium, Magnesium and Inorganic Phosphate Ions in Relation to Osteo-Diseases

Many women suffer from one form of bone related disease or the other at one time or the order during their lives after child bearing age. Research suggested that this problem could be related to the activities going on within the body of the women during their pregnancy days and little or no effort...
