Vitamin D Alterations in Food Regimens and Synaptic Transmission in Neuronal Circuit
Background and Objectives: In nervous system, through specific channels and some ionotropic receptors, calcium ion involves in synaptic transmission vitamin D takes an important role in cellular regulation as well.

CORTICOSTEROID-INDUCED OSTEOPOROSIS AND OSTEONECROSIS: ROLE OF OXIDATIVE STRESS
Glucocorticoids (GC) play a significant role in body metabolism. In the last few years, advances and highlights have been made to understand the role of oxidative stress induced by corticosteroids in the pathogenesis of osteonecrosis (ON) and ...

Distinct pharmacological and functional properties of NMDA receptors in mouse cortical astrocytes [PDF]
Background and purpose Astrocytes of the mouse neocortex express functional NMDA receptors which are not blocked by Mg2+ions. However, study of the pharmacological profile of glial NMDARs and their subunit composition is far from complete ...

Alveolar bone regeneration in response to local application of calcitriol in vitamin D deficient rats [PDF]
AIM Vitamin D deficiency is considered to diminish bone regeneration. Yet, raising the serum levels takes months. A topic application of the active vitamin D metabolite, calcitriol, may be an effective approach.

Recombinant glycine receptors: stoichiometry and kinetics [PDF]
Glycine receptors (GlyR) are anion-permeable channels that belong to the pentameric ligand-gated ion channel family. Different GlyR subtypes are known. The main synaptic form is thought to be α1β heteropentamers which mediate fast synaptic inhibition in ...

GABA_{B} Receptors Regulate Chick Retinal Calcium Waves [PDF]
Correlated spiking activity and associated Ca²⁺ waves in the developing retina are important in determining the connectivity of the visual system. Here, we show that GABA, via GABA_{B} receptors, regulates the temporal characteristics of Ca²⁺ waves ...

Inmunoregulación mediada por Calcitriol
El papel clásico endocrino del calcitriol (la, 25-dihidroxivitamina D3) en la homeóstasis del calcio es bien conocido. Los hallazgos relativamente recientes de la presencia del receptor de calcitriol en monocitos, linfocitos y diversas líneas celulares ...

Recent advances in intravenous calcitriol treatment
Ten years after the pioneering data by Slatopolsky, there is growing evidence that calcitriol given intravenously is able to improve secondary hyperparathyroidism better than the traditional daily oral administration.
