This study assessed the effect of calcium supplementation towards the change in serum calcium, phosphorus and magnesium level. We carried out a randomized controlled trial of calcium supplementation in 113 postmenopausal women for 24 months period study. Subjects were randomly assigned into two groups. Subjects in Calcium Supplemented Group (CSG) were to take calcium supplement (1200 mg/day) wh...

BROOKFIELD [1933] showed that in the serum of the rabbit there was an inverse relationship between calcium and magnesium, a direct relationship between magnesium and inorganic phosphorus and an inverse relationship between calcium and inorganic phosphorus, the latter of which had been previously observed by Dupre and Semeonoff [1931] and Bourne and Campbell [1932]. The rises and falls in the co...

The aims of this study were to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative chemical compound of the calcium and phosphorus ions on the carious radicular dentine surfaces resulted after lesional treatment with Carisolv system and to compare with the healthy radicular surfaces. EDX method was used for quantitative and qualitative chemical microanalysis of dentine radicular surfaces. This method als...

The discovery of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) as the causal factor in the pathogenesis of rare forms of hypophosphatemic rickets is rapidly reshaping our understanding of disordered mineral metabolism in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Excessive production of FGF23 by osteocytes is an appropriate compensation to help maintain normal phosphorus metabolism in these patients. Beginning in ear...

Background: Low protein intake is associated with various negative health outcomes at any life stage. When diets do not contain sufficient protein, phosphorus availability is compromised because proteins are the major sources of phosphorus. However, whether mineral phosphorus supplementation mitigates this problem is unknown, to our knowledge. Objective: Our goal was to determine the impact of ...

BACKGROUND Mineral disorders are associated with adverse renal outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Previous studies have associated hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia with mortality; however, the association between serum calcium and renal outcome is not well-described. Whether adding calcium besides phosphorus or in the form of calcium-phosphorus (Ca×P) product into the model of sur...

Postmenopausal women consistently have higher phosphorus levels than similarly aged men. As it is known that estradiol induces phosphaturia in rodents, we evaluated the cross-sectional association of sex hormones with serum phosphorus in 1346 community-living older men (mean age 76) of which 18% had moderate (stage 3) kidney disease. Using linear regression with serum phosphorus levels as the d...

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...

Hyperphosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism are common complications of ESRD (chronic kidney disease stage 5) that, when untreated, may result in increased morbidity and mortality. Hyperphosphatemia and hypercalcemia have been associated with increased coronary artery calcification. Achieving control of serum phosphorus without increasing serum calcium is an important goal for patients ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of three different chemical feed phosphates on the blood biochemical indicators and the content of main minerals of bones in finishing pigs. Over a period of 85 days of fattening, monocalcium (MCP, Finnish product), dicalcium (DCP, Polish product) and calcium-sodium (CSP, Russian product) phosphates were used in fattener feeding. The feeding was ...
