Along with the composition of the animal 2021 diet, these events are suspected to impact the Ca isotopic composition of Ca body reservoirs but their dynamics are poorly understood. In this study, we monitored a group of domestic sows across a full reproduction cycle. We collected tissues and fluids (blood, urine, milk, colostrum, umbilical blood, adult and piglet bones) at different steps of gestation and lactation, and analyzed their Ca isotopic compositions (i.e. \u03b444\/42Ca) by means of multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Among other results, we report the first observations of Ca isotopic fractionation between maternal and umbilical blood (\u039444\/42Caumbilical blood-sow blood = \u22120.18\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.11\u2030, n\u00a0=\u00a03). Our data also highlight that gestation and lactation periods are characterized by small diet-bone Ca isotopic offsets (\u039444\/42Cabone-diet = \u22120.28\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.11\u2030, n\u00a0=\u00a03), with 44Ca-enriched blood compositions during nursing (\u039444\/42Canursing blood-gestation blood = $+ 0.42{\\rm{\\,\\,}}_{ - 0.12}^{ + 0.11}$\u2030, n\u00a0=\u00a03). Under the light of an up-to-date mammalian box model, we explored different scenarios of gestation and lactation Ca fluxes experienced by a sow-like animal. These simulations suggest that gestation changes on body \u03b444\/42Ca values may result from the intensification of Ca absorption by the animal, whereas the production of 44Ca-depleted milk is the main driver for the 44Ca enrichment in blood during lactation. In addition, our results also support that bone mineralization could be associated with a more restricted Ca isotopic fractionation than previously envisioned. Together, these results refine the framework of Ca isotope applications, notably regarding the monitoring of human bone balance and the study of species and ecosystems from the present and the past.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/mtomcs\/mfab019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,19]],"date-time":"2021-04-19T12:01:32Z","timestamp":1618833692000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Lactation and gestation controls on calcium isotopic compositions in a mammalian model"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3004-4680","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Auguste","family":"Hassler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Lyon, ENSL, Univ Lyon 1, CNRS, LGL-TPE, F-69007 Lyon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9159-645X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeremy E","family":"Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Lyon, ENSL, Univ Lyon 1, CNRS, LGL-TPE, F-69007 Lyon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"St\u00e9phane","family":"Ferchaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GenESI, INRA, Rouill\u00e9, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Doryan","family":"Grivault","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GenESI, INRA, Rouill\u00e9, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7090-6914","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samuel","family":"Le Goff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Lyon, ENSL, Univ Lyon 1, CNRS, LGL-TPE, F-69007 Lyon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0864-5199","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emmanuelle","family":"Albalat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Lyon, ENSL, Univ Lyon 1, CNRS, LGL-TPE, F-69007 Lyon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Alexis","family":"Hernandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Earth Evolution and Dynamics, University of Oslo, N-0315 Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4690-8132","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Th\u00e9o","family":"Tacail","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bristol Isotope Group, School of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol, Bristol BS8 1RJ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9236-4834","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vincent","family":"Balter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Lyon, ENSL, Univ Lyon 1, CNRS, LGL-TPE, F-69007 Lyon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,21]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"2021120813093129100_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"485","DOI":"10.1111\/pala.12300","article-title":"Non-traditional isotope perspectives in vertebrate palaeobiology","volume":"60","author":"Martin","year":"2017","journal-title":"Palaeontology"},{"key":"2021120813093129100_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119471","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chemgeo.2020.119471","article-title":"New frontiers in calcium stable isotope geochemistry: perspectives in present and past vertebrate biology","volume":"537","author":"Tacail","year":"2020","journal-title":"Chem.
