Associations between serum calcium, 25(OH)D level and bone mineral density in adolescents

Adv Rheumatol; 61 (), 2021
Abstract Backgrounds: It is important to improve our understanding of the roles of calcium and vitamin D in bone health for preventing osteoporosis. We aimed at exploring the associations between serum calcium, vitamin D level, and bone mineral density (BMD) in adolescents included in the National Healt...

Calcium homeostasis behavior and cardiac function on left ventricular remodeling by pressure overload

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (4), 2021
Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2a) and sarcolemmal Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX1) structures are involved in heart cell Ca2+ homeostasis. Previous studies have shown discrepancies in their function and expression in heart failure. The goal of this study was to evaluate heart function and hypertrophi...

Causes of hypercalcemia in renal transplant recipients: persistent hyperparathyroidism and others

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (6), 2021
Hypercalcemia is common in patients after kidney transplantation (KTx) and is associated with persistent hyperparathyroidism in the majority of cases. This retrospective, single-center study evaluated the prevalence of hypercalcemia after KTx. KTx recipients were evaluated for 7 years after receiving kid...

Variación estacional de 25-hidroxi-vitamina D3, hormona paratiroidea y fosfatasa alcalina en niños escolares

Rev. chil. pediatr; 91 (6), 2020
INTRODUCCIÓN: El principal rol de la vitamina D es la regulación del metabolismo del calcio, cuya principal fuen te es la vitamina D3 que se obtiene principalmente por la acción de la luz ultravioleta (UV) en la piel. OBJETIVO: Evaluar las diferencias estacionales en las concentraciones de 25-hidroxi-...

Improving micropropagation of some grape cultivars via boron, calcium and phosphate

BACKGROUND: An efficient regeneration protocol is a priority for the successful application of plant biotechnology. Grape nodal explants were used to develop a micropropagation protocol for Thompson Seedless and Taify cvs. Explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with Kinetin or benzylaminopurine...

Quantificação das Placas Coronarianas Calcificadas pela Tomografia Computadorizada do Tórax: Correlação com a Técnica do Escore de Cálcio

Arq. bras. cardiol; 115 (3), 2020
Resumo Fundamento A doença cardiovascular representa a principal causa de mortalidade no mundo. Calcificações parietais nas artérias podem ser visualizadas e quantificadas por tomografia computadorizada (TC) em estágios iniciais e subclínicos, sendo expressa em escore de cálcio (EC). Com esse nÃ...
