The Association between Vitamin D Receptor Expression and Prolonged Overall Survival in Breast Cancer. [PDF]
, 2012 Summary In this study, we analyzed vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression and survival in a breast cancer patient cohort of 82 breast cancer patients. Immunohistochemical analysis was possible in 91.5% of the patients (75/82). Staining was evaluated using

Vitamin D, a modulator of musculoskeletal health in chronic kidney disease [PDF]
, 2017 The spectrum of activity of vitamin D goes beyond calcium and bone homeostasis, and growing evidence suggests that vitamin D contributes to maintain musculoskeletal health in healthy subjects as well as in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Osteoporosis from long‐term glucocorticoid (GIOP) use elevates susceptibility to fracture. This study shows GCs impair ascorbic acid (AA) metabolism in osteoblasts, collagen synthesis and extracellular matrix integrity. AA enhanced collagen biochemical and mechanical properties and restored osteoblast and endothelial function. These findings underscore

Head &Neck, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Parathyroidectomy is the treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism, yet postoperative hypocalcemia and hungry bone syndrome remain common. Vitamin D deficiency has been suggested as a modifiable risk factor, but evidence supporting preoperative supplementation is inconsistent.

Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies
iNew Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

The role of calcium, calcitriol and its receptors in [PDF]
, 2010 The mechanism of regulation of Parathyroidhormone (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

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.
