BACKGROUND Secondary hyperparathyroidism characterized by hyperplasia of the parathyroid gland (PTG) is a consequence of chronic renal insufficiency (CRI). Dietary phosphate restriction and sevelamer hydrochloride, a calcium-free phosphate binder, suppress parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion and PTG hyperplasia in experimental animals with CRI, independently of serum calcium and 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)...

conclusions while high serum pth, calcium, and phosphorus levels could determine the mortality risk in hemodialysis patients, decreased serum phosphorus and pth levels were in association with malnutrition and comorbidities and were not independent risk factors for mortality. background abnormal mineral metabolism is common among hemodialysis patients and has been associated with higher morbidi...

Abstract Geblek is one of the traditional foods from Kulon Progo Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The aim this research was to determine how cooking methods and addition dumbo catfish bone flour affect calcium phosphorus content, sensory assessment, chemical qualities a specific product. A completely randomized design (CRD) used for test design. Steamed presto were used. incorporation as follows...

An experiment was conducted to compare two common methods of estimating bone ash from growing broiler chicks (A = autoclaving; B = boiling/extracting). Ross x Ross 1-d-old broiler chicks were fed a corn-soy, phosphorus-deficient diet (22.7% CP, 1% calcium, 0.22% non-phytate phosphorus), with 0, 750, 1,500, 3,000, or 6,000 units of phytase (FTU) to produce bones with a range of ash. The methods ...

Abstract The chemical composition of 4 spring wheat species was analyzed: einkorn ( Triticum monococcum ) (local cv.), emmer dicoccon (Lamella spelt spelta (Wirtas and common aestivum (Rospuda cv.). Mean yield significantly lower than that wheat. analyses the grain included content total protein, crude ash, fat, fibre, carbohydrates, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, copper, iron, mang...

A 10 wk trial was conducted to investigate the effect of using ground, sterilized eggshell as a calcium source in breeder male diets. Live performance, semen quality, gonadal and visceral organ characteristics, plasma calcium concentration and bone mineralization were evaluated. Forty-five Rhode Island Red cockerels aged 25 wk were caged individually in a conventional open-sided house. The bird...

The proximate analyses of the locally available commercial varieties of white and black sesame indicated that they contained 26.94%-27.65% protein, 47.79%-48.21% fat, 8.16%-8.95% carbohydrates and 5.56%-5.59% ash. Minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium were present in significant quantities. Protein isolates were prepared from the defatted sesame meal using alkaline extracti...

Two experiments were conducted to compare a sample of calcium citrate-malate (CC-M) with a sample of commercial-grade limestone in starting broiler chick diets. In the first experiment, with 0.7 or 0.9% calcium from limestone or CC-M, no differences in bone development (dry fat-free tibia, tibia weight, tibia ash, or tibia calcium) were observed due to calcium source. However, chicks fed the di...

Nile tilapia (Oreochormis niloticus) fishbone is a fish part with unknown composition. After elaboration of flour fishbone of tilapia it was analysede. The results in 100 g of flour were: moisture (14.2%), protein (40.8%), total lipids (25.3%), and ash (18.3%), and mineral (in 100 g) was 2715.9 mg (calcium), 1.3 mg (iron), and 1132.7 mg (phosphorus). A total of 22 fatty acids were detected in f...

BACKGROUND Hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) contributes to secondary hyperparathyroidism, soft tissue calcification, and increased mortality risk. This trial was conducted to examine the efficacy and safety of calcium acetate in controlling serum phosphorus in pre-dialysis patients with CKD. METHODS In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 110...
