1. Sodium phosphate was infused intravenously over approximately 2+ h and produced a mean linear rise in plasma phosphorus levels of 9.1 mg/100 ml. Twentyone infusions were performed in twelve control subjects and thirty-eight were carried out in thirty-two patients with disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism. 2. The fall in plasma calcium under these conditions was related to: a. The i...

Problem statement: There is evidence that the type of fiber influences the development of nephrocalcinosis in rats, but the effect of pectin was unknown. Approach: The effects of dietary pectin and cellulose on kidney calcification were studied in female rats. The diets used contained either 0.4-0.6% phosphorus and either cellulose (10%, w/w) or pectin. The purified diets used were balanced for...

BACKGROUND Calcium is an essential cotherapy in osteoporosis treatment. The relative effectiveness of various calcium salts for this purpose is uncertain. Many older women with osteoporosis have phosphorus intakes of <70% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to test the hypothesis that calcium phosphate would better support anabolic bone building than would calciu...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of replacing dietary limestone with mashhad power plant calcium-waste in combination with available phosphorus level on growth performance, tibial strength and blood alkaline phosphatase activity in broiler chickens. three hundred and eighty four male broiler chickens were used in a complete randomized design experiment with a 4×2 factorial arr...

ENGLISH/ANGLAIS] Preterm is defined as a baby with a gestation of less than 37 completed weeks. Premature infants are known to be at risk of developing metabolic bone disease. Preterm have low serum Calcium and Phosphorus level, with increased serum alkaline phosphates activity. In this study serum Calcium, Phosphorus and ALP activities were measured in preterm babies. The present study compris...
