Calcium acetate is used as an oral phosphate binder to control hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic renal failure. Compared to calcium carbonate, control of hyperphosphatemia can be achieved at lower calcium administration with calcium acetate which likely reduces the risk of hypercalcemia. In this study, various formulations of calcium acetate tablets were prepared and their disint...

Although milk salts are classified as micronutrients, they strongly affect the behaviour of proteins and physical stability dairy products. This review focuses on heat-induced changes in salts, with particular emphasis salt speciation, precipitation association proteins. In other liquids at neutral pH, heating results calcium phosphates. These precipitates may become stabilised by caseins casei...

objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the retentive strength of orthodontic bands cemented with amorphous calcium phosphate (acp)-containing and conventional glass ionomer cements (gics). materials and methods: one-hundred-and-twenty mandibular third molars were embedded in acrylic resin blocks with the buccal surface of crowns perpendicular to the base of the mold. the ...

A study of the phosphorylated sites on the regulatory subunit of type II cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase is described. The site of autophosphorylation, previously reported (Takio, K., Walsh, K. A., Neurath, H., Smith, S. B., Krebs, E. G., and Titani, K. (1980) FEBS Lett. 114, 83-88), is found to contain the only residue phosphorylated by the catalytic subunit. Endogenous protein-bound phosp...

conclusions cigarette smoking and bmi are two main confounding factors affecting the correlation of calcium and phosphate concentrations in the saliva and periodontal status. background periodontitis is a multi-factorial disease related to the formation of dental plaque. saliva composition plays a role in plaque formation and in the development of periodontal disease. objectives this study was ...

application of therapeutic gene transfer in the treatment of genetic diseases is a notable progress but there are some disadvantages and limitations in it. the process of overcoming these barriers is a drastic change in gene delivery. recently, calcium phosphate nanoparticles alone, or in combination with viral and nonviral vectors, were found to have a positive effect on gene transfer especial...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Dental caries is one of the most common chronic diseases in children. The balance between demineralization and remineralization of the decayed teeth depends on the calcium and phosphate content of the tooth surface. Therefore, if a product such as casein phospho peptides - amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP- ACP) which can significantly increase the availability of calcium an...
