Calcium is an essential trace element and a vital contributor to numerous reactions in
virtually every human cell. To ensure normal physiologic functions, intracellular and …

Calcium is important not only as the major constituent of the skeleton but also as the major
ionic cytosolic messenger for a variety of biochemical and physiological processes. Calcium …

Calcium is an important ion in cell signaling, hormone regulation, and bone health. Its
regulation is complex and intimately connected to that of phosphate homeostasis. Both ions …

The genetic contribution to calcium metabolism is well recognized. Many of the proteins that

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 …

This brief review focuses on calcium balance and homeostasis and their relationship to
dietary calcium intake and calcium supplementation in healthy subjects and patients with …

An organism with an internal skeleton must accumulate calcium while maintaining body
fluids at a well-regulated, constant calcium concentration. Neither calcium absorption nor …

Calcium ions (Ca") play numerous critical physiologic and biochemical roles, in both the
