Calcium in Pregnancy and Lactation
Annual Review of Nutrition, 2000Pregnancy and lactation are periods of high calcium requirement. This review highlights recent advances in our understanding of calcium and bone metabolism during human pregnancy and lactation and discusses the findings in relation to the calcium nutrition of the mother.

Calcium and Vitamin D Metabolism During Lactation
Journal of Mammary Gland Biology and Neoplasia, 1997Calcium transfer to the fetus in late pregnancy and the subsequent transfer of calcium to milk represent the greatest challenges to calcium homeostasis in adult animals. The adaptation of the maternal calcium homeostatic mechanisms is the result of a complex interplay between calciotropic hormones and the tissues, intestine, bone, and kidney ...

LOSS OF SKELETAL CALCIUM IN LACTATING WOMEN
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1970SummaryThe calcium changes which occur during lactation have been measured in the lower femoral shaft of ten subjects. Measurements were made by scanning the leg with a photon beam from 241Am. The results obtained from the scan trace were expressed as a “bone index” which was proportional to the bone in g. per unit length of the femur shaft.

Calcium Channel Antagonists and Lactation: An Update
Journal of Human Lactation, 2000Approximately 14% of women of age 20-54 years old have hypertension. For those women who are on medication for hypertension and are pregnant, this poses potential problems. In many cases, antihypertensive agents may be continued inwomen with chronic hypertension if taken prior to pregnancy.

Calcium is the most readily available mineral in the body required in building and maintaining strong bones and teeth; it also helps in muscle, nerve, and blood vessel functions. Calcium lactate is a calcium supplement often used to treat calcium deficiencies and maintain strong bones.

Maternal calcium requirements during pregnancy and lactation
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1994Recommendations for calcium intakes during pregnancy and lactation differ around the world, reflecting the inadequacy of knowledge about calcium requirements in human reproduction. In theory, insufficient calcium supply during pregnancy and lactation could result in maternal bone loss, reduced breast-milk calcium secretion or impaired infant bone ...

Hormonal Control of Calcium Metabolism in Lactation
1980Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the hormonal control of calcium metabolism in lactation. In lactating animals that secrete relatively large amounts of calcium in the milk, a number of adaptive changes in calcium metabolism occur. The efficiency of calcium absorption from the intestine increases twofold or more, and, in the rat, absorption ...

Breastmilk calcium concentrations in Palestinian lactating women
Acta PaediatricaAbstractAimBreastmilk calcium concentrations can vary between lactating women and over the lactation period. This study assessed breastmilk calcium concentrations among Palestinian lactating women.MethodsThe demographic and dietary variables of the lactating women were collected using a questionnaire.
