Abstract
The paper deals with the dependence of the torsional moment on the angle of the compact bone torsion in laboratory animals and humans. Based on, the d ata for laboratory animals obtained by measurements, the data on dependence of the torsional moment and the angle of torsion were predicted for humans . The measurements were carried out in four groups of laboratory animals. O ne was the control group, and the other three groups were treated by variou s vitamin D-3 metabolites. The same measurements were performed also in onl y one group of humans, due to the impossibility to treat humans with vitami n D-3 metabolites. The functional relationship between the angle of torsion and the torsional moment for all the groups of animal bone tissue were det ermined by measurements, and results were used to predict the reaction of t he human compact bone tissue if treated by vitamin D-3 metabolites.
