Improved regeneration and de novo bone formation in a diabetic zebrafish model treated with paricalcitol and cinacalcet [PDF]

, 2017
Bone changes related to diabetes have been well stablished, but few strategies have been developed to prevent this growing health problem. In our work, we propose to investigate the effects of calcitriol as well as of a vitamin D analog (paricalcitol ...

[The role of calcium, calcitriol and their receptors in parathyroid regulation].

Nefrologia : publicacion oficial de la Sociedad Espanola Nefrologia, 2009
The mechanism of regulation of Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is complex, and diverse factors are involved: the fundamental ones are calcium, calcitriol and phosphorus. Calcium and calcitriol's mechanism of action takes place through its specific receptors, the calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) and the Vitamin D Receptor (VDR). These two factors have an effect

Burosumab in Unidentifiable Tumor-Induced Osteomalacia. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Tumor‐induced osteomalacia (TIO) can be challenging due to underlying tumors being either unresectable or unidentifiable. Burosumab, an anti‐FGF23 monoclonal antibody, has been proven to be effective in treating TIO but is currently not subsidized for this indication in Australia.

Effect of Schiff base formation on the function of the calcitriol receptor

Kidney International, 1996
The genomic action of calcitriol is mediated through the interaction of the calcitriol receptor (VDR) with vitamin D response elements (VDREs) of the target genes. We have shown that the interaction of VDRs with VDREs is inhibited by uremic toxins.
