Mineral metabolism on dephytinized bread

Mineral metabolism on rice diets.

Over half the population of the world eats a diet in which rice predominates and such a diet usually has a low mineral content. This is certainly true for the diets consumed by most of the people of Ceylon (Nicholls, 1936; Nicholls & Nimalasuriya, 1939; Bibile, Cullumbine, Watson & Wickramanayake, 1949; Cullumbine, ~gqga), and it is difficult to understand how these people can grow and maintain...

Altered Mineral Metabolism

A B S T R A C T Parameters of mineral and bone metabolism were studied in 17 patients treated chronically with supraphysiologic doses of glucocorticoids. When compared to 15 matched normal subjects, the patient group exhibited similar serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) levels, decreased intestinal 47Ca absorption, increased serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone, and decreased forearm bone ma...

Bone and Mineral Metabolism

Background: Evidence suggests that vitamin D status in adults is positively associated with calcium absorption fraction and inversely associated with serum PTH. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationships among vitamin D status, PTH, and calcium absorption in midpubertal boys and girls. Methods: Calcium absorption was measured by using a stable isotope method in 93 young adole...
