Calcium Intake in Bone Health: A Focus on Calcium-Rich Mineral Waters
Calcium is an essential element that plays numerous biological functions in the human body, of which one of the most important is skeleton mineralization. Bone is a mineralized connective tissue in which calcium represents the major component, conferring

Bone Mineralization in Celiac Disease [PDF]
Evidence indicates a well-established relationship between low bone mineral density (BMD) and celiac disease (CD), but data on the pathogenesis of bone derangement in this setting are still inconclusive. In patients with symptomatic CD, low BMD appears to be directly related to the intestinal malabsorption.

An apparent vitamin D paradox, characterized by lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels and higher bone mineral density, is present in black population. In contrast, blacks have higher serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D) levels.

Mineralization of Hydrogels for Bone Regeneration [PDF]
Hydrogels are an important class of highly hydrated polymers that are widely investigated for potential use in soft tissue engineering. Generally, however, hydrogels lack the ability to mineralize, preventing the formation of chemical bonds with hard tissues such as bone.

Bone mineralization and bone mineral metabolism in children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
AbstractObjective. To identify mechanisms of the osteopenia associated with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) by determining parameters of bone mineralization, and bone mineral content and density (BMC and BMD), in children with JRA.Methods. BMC and BMD were measured by dual x‐ray absorptiometry in 41 children with JRA and 62 healthy children.

Redox Metabolism and Vascular Calcification in Chronic Kidney Disease
Vascular calcification (VC) is a common complication in patients with chronic kidney disease which increases their mortality. Although oxidative stress is involved in the onset and progression of this disorder, the specific role of some of the main redox
