An Overview of Calcium, Mechanisms and Necessities
Today, promoting quality of life and paying more attention to nutrition and health are among the major issues of international debate and governments' strategies to improve people's quality of life in different societies. There have also been extensive studies to improve nutrition and its relationship with health. The pattern of food consumption is different in most countries, different social ...
متن کاملInvited review: mechanisms of calcium handling in smooth muscles.
The concentration of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) regulates the contractile state of smooth muscle cells and tissues. Elevations in global cytoplasmic Ca(2+) resulting in contraction are accomplished by Ca(2+) entry and release from intracellular stores. Pathways for Ca(2+) entry include dihydropyridine-sensitive and -insensitive Ca(2+) channels and receptor and store-operated nonselective channels perme...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Introduction: Pregnancy and health is the process in which the egg is fertilized and being able to survive. When pregnancy occurs under some conditions and the fetus is being at risk, it will lead to abortion that occurs involuntarily and spontaneously. Abortions that occur more than two or three times are called recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Various etiological factors involved in RPL, inclu...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms triggered by low-calcium diets.
Ca is not only essential for bone mineralisation, but also for regulation of extracellular and intracellular processes. When the Ca2+ intake is low, the efficiency of intestinal Ca2+ absorption and renal Ca2+ reabsorption is increased. This adaptive mechanism involves calcitriol enhancement via parathyroid hormone stimulation. Bone is also highly affected. Low Ca2+ intake is considered a risk f...
متن کاملPituitary Autoantibodies in Endocrine Disorders
Autoimmune endocrine disorders are characterised by the development of autoantibodies to specific autoantigens in the target organs. Lymphocytic hypophysitis (LyH) is a disease characterised by inflammation of the pituitary gland, often resulting in hypopituitarism. The aetiology of LyH is considered to be autoimmune. However, only a few pituitary autoantigens have so far been identified. Relia...
