introduction: the aim of this research was to study the effect of a 6-week supplemented diet on increasing bone density by measuring calcium, phosphorus and bone mineral density (bmd) in male rats. materials and methods: in this experimental study, 24 wistar male rats, aged between 15 and 20 days, were selected. the rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: immune system supplement (iss), iss p...

  intravenous glucocorucoid pulse therapy is a common treatment for immunologically origin diseases but it can not be considered a completely bening treatment.the effects of long term administration of glucocorticoids on calcium and phosphorus metabolism are week known ,but is less in known about the effect of pluse therapy.the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of methylpredn...

Phosphorus and calcium are essential for bone health. There is a concern that a low calcium/phosphorus intake ratio resulting from low calcium intake coupled with high phosphorus intake may have a negative effect on bone mineral status, especially in Western countries. The objective of this study was to examine cross-sectionally the influence of habitual phosphorus and calcium intake and the ca...

Seven patients suffering from hyperthyroidism have been carefully studied. An analysis of their experimental data provides definite evidence in favour of an associated hyperparathyroidism being the direct cause of the excessive mobilization and excretion of calcium and phosphorus. Two patients suffering from hyperthyroidism with an associated hypoparathyroidism were studied. Both patients were ...

An acidic intravenous source of phosphorus (Addiphos) was compared with dipotassium hydrogen phosphate in 25 preterm infants to study acid-base state. Eight infants were given either Addiphos or dipotassium hydrogen phosphate alternately for 48 hour periods and similar amounts of calcium and phosphorus were delivered. There were no significant differences in calcium and phosphorus intake, calci...

The effect of histamine H2-receptor antagonist (famotidine) on the phosphorus-binding abilities of calcium carbonate and calcium lactate were examined in 13 chronic hemodialysis patients. In seven patients receiving calcium carbonate, famotidine (20 mg/d) was given because of gastroduodenal disorders, and calcium carbonate was replaced with calcium lactate as a phosphorus binder after 4 wk of t...

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...

BACKGROUND Osteoporosis has become a major public health issue. Among various factors affected bone health, not only dietary calcium and phosphorus intakes, but also the dietary calcium/phosphorus ratio could relate to bone health. Therefore, we evaluated whether dietary calcium and phosphorus intakes, and dietary calcium/phosphorus ratio are associated with bone mass in Korean adults ≥ 20 year...

OBJECTIVE The current data regarding the association between calcium and phosphorus and cardiovascular disease are lacking. The aim of this study was to explore whether dietary calcium and phosphorus intake and their serum levels are associated with the prevalence of coronary artery calcification (CAC) using cardiac computed tomography in asymptomatic participants without a history of chronic k...
