Urinary Calcium and Phosphorus Excretion in Vitamin D‐Sufficient Preterm Infants: Establishing Age‐Specific Normative Data

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study evaluated urinary calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) excretion in very low birth weight infants ( < 1500 g, VLBW) without severe morbidity, treated with methylxanthines. Methods Eighty‐one VLBW infants were analysed. Urinary Ca and P and their creatinine ratios were measured biweekly until day 56.

Dual effect of vitamin D3 on breast cancer-associated fibroblasts

BMC Cancer
Background Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play an important role in the tumor microenvironment. Despite the well-known in vitro antitumoral effect of vitamin D3 (VD3), its impact on breast CAFs is almost unknown.

Calcitriol and Its Analogs Establish the Immunosuppressive Microenvironment That Drives Metastasis in 4T1 Mouse Mammary Gland Cancer

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018
In our previous study, calcitriol and its analogs PRI-2191 and PRI-2205 stimulated 4T1 mouse mammary gland cancer metastasis. Therefore, we aimed to analyze the inflammatory response in 4T1-bearing mice treated with these compounds.

Impaired Insulin sensitivity and Insulin secretion in Haemodialysis patients with and without Secondary Hyperparathyroidism [PDF]

, 2004
The aim of our study was to investigate insulin sensitivity and beta cell function in hemodialysis (HD) patients without diabetes. We hypothesized that parathyroid gland function was a determinant of insulin sensitivity and/or beta cell function.

Focus on 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 in the Peripheral Nervous System

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
In this review, we draw attention to the roles of calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) in the trophicity of the peripheral nervous system. Calcitriol has long been known to be crucial in phosphocalcium homeostasis. However, recent discoveries concerning

Characteristics of changes in bone mineral density and body composition in obesity patients after metabolic and bariatric surgery: A prospective cohort study

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims To explore the changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition in patients after bariatric surgery using dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) and quantitative computed tomography (QCT), analyse the relationships between these changes and weight loss, and the correlations between the parameters of DXA and QCT.
