Epigenetic Methylation of Parathyroid CaR and VDR Promoters in Experimental Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

open access: yesInternational Journal of Nephrology, 2012
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (s-HPT) in uremia is characterized by decreased expression in the parathyroids of calcium sensing (CaR) and vitamin D receptors (VDR).

Positioning novel biologicals in CKD-mineral and bone disorders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Renal osteodystrophy (ROD), the histologic bone lesions of chronic kidney disease (CKD), is now included in a wider syndrome with laboratory abnormalities of mineral metabolism and extra-skeletal calcifications or CKD-mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD),

FGF23 Actions on Target Tissues—With and Without Klotho

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23 is a phosphaturic hormone whose physiologic actions on target tissues are mediated by FGF receptors (FGFR) and klotho, which functions as a co-receptor that increases the binding affinity of FGF23 for FGFRs.

Naringenin and β-carotene convert human white adipocytes to a beige phenotype and elevate hormone- stimulated lipolysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
IntroductionNaringenin, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activator found in citrus fruits, upregulates markers of thermogenesis and insulin sensitivity in human adipose tissue.

Parathyroid hormone acts as a pharmacological chaperone on the parathyroid hormone receptor

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2008
Parathyroid hormone receptor (PTH1R) belongs to class B G‐protein‐coupled receptors and is the major regulator of extracellular calcium homeostasis. Binding of the native ligand parathyroid hormone (PTH) or biologically active peptide fragments of PTH to the receptor lead to the activation of Gs and Gq/G11 pathways with subsequent stimulation of ...

Modeling calcium signaling by Cellular Automata simulation incorporating endocrine regulation and trafficking in various types of receptors

open access: yesAdvances in Difference Equations, 2017
Calcium signaling plays important physiological roles which range widely from activation of muscle, synaptic transmission, cell movement, fertilization, growth in the cell population, learning process and retention of memory, to saliva secretion. Calcium

Changes in Bone Metabolism and Structure in Primary Hyperparathyroidism

open access: yesActa Medica Bulgarica, 2020
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a key regulator of bone turnover. Depending on the duration of action, the hormone causes catabolic and anabolic effects by binding with specific receptors (PTHR1) in the bone.

The calcium-sensing receptor in inflammation: Recent updates

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
The Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR) is a member of the class C of G-proteins coupled receptors (GPCRs), it plays a pivotal role in calcium homeostasis by directly controlling calcium excretion in the kidneys and indirectly by regulating parathyroid ...

Neurological, psychological, and cognitive disorders in patients with chronic kidney disease on conservative and replacement therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a highly prevalent condition in the world. Neurological, psychological, and cognitive disorders, related to CKD, could contribute to the morbidity, mortality, and poor quality of life of these patients.
