The genetic contribution to calcium metabolism is well recognized. Many of the proteins that
contribute to calcium homeostasis through intestinal absorption, bone deposition and …

The significant progress in defining the molecular basis for the mechanism of calcium
metabolism that has occurred in the past decade helps explain human normal calcium …

New insights in regulation of calcium homeostasis : Current Opinion in Nephrology and
Hypertension New insights in regulation of calcium homeostasis : Current Opinion in …

METABOLISM of calcium and implications of its derangement in functional and structural
renal alterations offer an imposing challenge. Recent observations by the clinician …

Most calcium is bound and associated with bony structures (99%). The majority of free
calcium, either in diffusible (ultrafilterable) nonionized form or in ionized form (Ca2+), is …

In recent years, important advances in endocrinology have resulted from the application of
the methods of molecular biology (Thakker and Ponder, 1988; Thakker, 1994a). These …

Human calcium homeostasis is maintained by a complex interplay of different hormonal
systems controlling intestinal calcium uptake, renal calcium excretion, and calcium transport …

In the other chapters in this book, it is apparent that bone is the tissue that is affected during
periods of inadequate dietary calcium intake, as a result of changes in physiology or defects …

The regulation of calcium homeostasis involves the interaction of several “calciotropic"
hormones with multiple organs. Recent work suggests that ex-tracellular calcium itself …

Calcium is a key ion involved in cardiac and skeletal muscle contractility, nerve function, and
skeletal structure. Global calcium balance is affected by parathyroid hormone and vitamin D …
