Abstract:
The author gives an account of the basic relations of calcium homeostasis ensuing from the action of calcitropic hormones under physiological conditions and during chronic renal failure. The following are evaluated in relation to the pathogenesis of secondary hyperparathyroidism: a decline of glomerular filtration, the relationship of serum calcium levels and PTH secretion along with analyses of so-called S curves, calcitriol deficit and impaired function of the appropriate receptors, phosphate retention, effect of metabolic acidosis, participation of retained aluminium, possible importance of calcitonin and genetic abnormality, corticoid administration and abolition of oestrogen function.

Hormones and Bone Tissue
Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...
Role of Skin in Vitamin D Synthesis
The solar UV B rays (290-315 nm) are absorbed by the skin, and 7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) photolyzes it to previtamin D3, which undergoes a rapid transformation to vitamin D3(cholecalciferol).
Role of Vitamins in Maintaining Bone Health
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is involved in the process of bone remodeling. Retinoic acid, the active metabolite of Vitamin A, has nuclear receptors in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are involved in bone remodeling.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor during the formation of osteoblast-related proteins, such as osteocalcin. Vitamin B12 plays a role...
