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 ...

A Year in the Bones: Investigating Bone Resorption Across a Reproductive Year in Wild Female Assamese Macaques

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reproduction places considerable metabolic demands on females, particularly during pregnancy and lactation, when calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism are challenged. Urinary C‐terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX‐I) offers a useful non‐invasive marker to assess bone resorption.
