Effect of Two Therapeutic Renal Diets on Hormonal and Regulatory Pathways Affecting Calcium Homeostasis in Cats With Early‐Stage Chronic Kidney Disease

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a known risk factor for hypercalcemia in cats. Phosphate‐restricted diets have also been implicated in causing hypercalcemia, in part because phosphate restriction increases the Ca:P ratio. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of two different therapeutic renal foods on ionized (iCa ...

Expression of Mineral and Urea Transport‐Related Genes in the Salivary Glands and Ruminal Epithelium of Young Goats Fed Nitrogen‐ and/or Calcium‐Reduced Diets

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An adequate supply of protein and minerals, particularly nitrogen (N) and calcium (Ca), is essential for ruminant growth and metabolic function. The rumen and salivary glands are crucial for nutrient and electrolyte homoeostasis via specialised transport proteins.

Bile Acid Synthesis: From Nature to the Chemical Modification and Synthesis and Their Applications as Drugs and Nutrients

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
Bile acids (BAs) are amphiphilic molecules with 24 carbon atoms and consist of a hydrophobic and a rigid steroid nucleus, to which are attached a hydrophilic hydroxyl group and a flexible acidic aliphatic side chain. The steroidal core of BAs constitutes

Functional Calcitriol/Vitamin D Receptor Signaling in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Blood, 2019
Calcitriol, the biologically active form of vitamin D, modulates a plethora of cellular processes following its receptor ligation, namely the vitamin D receptor (VDR), a nuclear transcription factor that regulates the transcription of diverse genes.

Paricalcitol reduces oxidative stress and inflammation in hemodialysis patients

BMC Nephrology, 2012
Background Treatment with selective vitamin D receptor activators such as paricalcitol have been shown to exert an anti-inflammatory effect in patients on hemodialysis, in addition to their action on mineral metabolism and independently of parathyroid ...

Dynamics of Kidney Calcium and Phosphorus Mineral Handling in Laying Hens During the Transition to Egg Production

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition from immature pullets to sexually mature female chickens is accompanied by pronounced structural and functional modifications. This is accompanied by coordinated changes in hormonal and metabolic pathways that primarily regulate reproduction, nutrient utilization, and mineral homeostasis to compensate for temporary imbalances ...

Potentiation of glycine-gated NR1/NR3A NMDA receptors relieves Ca2+-dependent outward rectification [PDF]

, 2010
Glycine has diverse functions within the mammalian central nervous system. It inhibits postsynaptic neurons via strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors (GlyRs) and enhances neuronal excitation through co-activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors.

Effect of Calcitriol and Vitamin D Receptor Modulator 2 on Recovery of Injured Skeletal Muscle in Wistar Rats

Biomedicines, 2023
Muscle injuries often result in functional limitations due to insufficient healing. This study assessed the influence of calcitriol and vitamin D Receptor Modulator 2 (VDRM2) on muscle regeneration in male Wistar rats following open blunt muscle injury.
