Assessing calcium absorption from fortified soymilk and fermented fortified soymilk in osteopenic post menopausal women
… objectives of this thesis were to assess the calcium absorption of calcium fortified soymilk (CFSM) compared to cows’ milk in post menopausal women, and to investigate ways of optimising the calcium bioavailability from commercially available CFSM. The project consisted of two parts: in vitro …

Effects of dietary calcium, phytoestrogen rich diets and estrogen on intestinal calcium transport proteins, egg and eggshell quality in maturing layer hens / Ali Asghar Saki.
… estrogen modulates the proteins associated with calcium transport (eg calcium binding protein, calbindin D28k) in the intestinal tissue during sexual maturation of laying hens. Studies the temporal and spatial expression of estrogen receptors (ER) and calcium binding protein in jejunal tissue. …

Vitamin D, Calcium and Blood Pressure in the U.S.
<p>Vitamin D and calcium have received increased attention for their potential roles in improving cardiovascular health. The active form of vitamin D, 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D), may influence blood pressure by increasing gastrointestinal calcium absorption. The objectives of this study were …

Model-Guided Transdermal Formulation of 1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 for Improved Safety and Efficacy
… with minimal stimulation of the intestinal calcium ion channel (TRPV6), thereby avoiding the toxic outcome of hypercalcemia. By incorporation an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) rate-controlling membrane to slow down and regulate the rate of drug release, we were able to control the slow release …

Early Osteoclast Responses to a Calcium Supplemented Meal in Calcium Deficient Rats
… cells responsible for the mobilization of calcium from bone (bone resorption). It is a well known fact that bone diseases (i.e. osteoporosis and osteopetrosis) occur as a result of unbalanced cellular activity. The implicated bone cells include osteoblasts (bone forming cells) and …

Digestibility and palatability of animal, vegetable and animal-vegetable blended fats by the equine
… of acid detergent fiber or apparent absorption of minerals. Blood serum levels of total fatty acids, calcium, inorganic phosphorus, magnesium and glucose were not affected by the addition of the fats. However, serum cholesterol levels were increased (P <.05) by addition of fat. In …

Structural Studies of Recombinant Human β-casein proteins
… of the human casein system. Interacting with calcium and phosphates through its phosphorylated N-terminus, β-casein participates in the formation of micelles which carry these otherwise insoluble nutrients indispensable for the growth and development of newborns. Human β-casein, or fragments …

Dietary protein and bone health: Harmonizing conflicting theories
… Protein unambiguously increases urinary calcium losses, which is completely attributable to the dietary acid load imposed by metabolism of sulfur containing amino acids into acid equivalents. Although alternate dietary sources of fixed acid cause demineralization of bone and apparent …

Requirements for digestible calcium by growing pigs
… expression of genes related to intestinal Ca absorption (i.e., TRPV6 and S100G) and tight junction proteins (i.e., OCLN and ZO1) in the duodenum. Twenty corn-soybean meal based diets were formulated to contain 0.16, 0.33, 0.42, or 0.50% STTD P and 0.14, 0.29, 0.44, 0.59, or 0.74% STTD Ca. A …

Natural Genetic Variation Affecting Calcium Homeostasis
<p>Calcium (Ca) is essential for multiple functions within the body including skeletal health. The level of Ca in the serum is tightly regulated. During periods of habitual low Ca intake, the body senses a decrease in serum Ca and increases renal conversion of 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) to 1,25 …
