A decrease in intestinal calcium absorption, in spite of normal serum calcitriol levels, has been reported in postmenopausal osteoporotic women, raising the possibility of an intestinal resistance to the hormone. The mechanism responsible for it could lie at the receptor or postreceptor level. Intestinal receptors are difficult to study on clinical settings, but calcitriol receptors have been found in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). We have studied the PBMC calcitriol receptors by means of Scatchard analysis in 11 postmenopausal osteoporotic women without any treatment and in 12 normal postmenopausal women of similar age. No differences were found in the dissociation constant (Kd) or the concentration of binding sites (Nmax) (Kd in patients: 0.90 +/- 0.75 x 10(-10) M; Kd in controls: 0.85 +/- 0.40 x 10(-10) M; Nmax in patients: 2.4 +/- 1.2 fmol/10(7) cells; Nmax in controls: 2.1 +/- 0.6 fmol/10(7) cells), supporting the contention that the disorder responsible for the resistance to calcitriol in postmenopausal osteoporotic women is located at the postreceptor level. In addition, our study included five postmenopausal osteoporotic women treated with calcitriol (0.5 microgram/day). The number of calcitriol receptors was increased in this group (Nmax: 3.9 +/- 2.0 fmol/10(7) cells vs. 2.1 +/- 0.6 fmol/10(7) cells; P = 0.02).

D002117 Calcitriol The physiologically active form of vitamin D. It is formed primarily in the kidney by enzymatic hydroxylation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (CALCIFEDIOL). Its production is stimulated by low blood calcium levels and parathyroid hormone. Calcitriol increases intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and in concert with parathyroid hormone increases bone resorption. 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1, 25-(OH)2D3,1,25(OH)2D3,1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1 alpha, 25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,1,25(OH)2-20epi-D3,1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin D3,20-epi-1alpha,25-dihydroxycholecaliferol,Bocatriol,Calcijex,Calcitriol KyraMed,Calcitriol-Nefro,Decostriol,MC-1288,MC1288,Osteotriol,Renatriol,Rocaltrol,Silkis,Sitriol,Soltriol,Tirocal,1 alpha,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 Dihydroxycholecalciferol,1,25 Dihydroxyvitamin D3,1,25 dihydroxy 20 epi Vitamin D3,Calcitriol Nefro,D3, 1 alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin,D3, 1,25-dihydroxy-20-epi-Vitamin,KyraMed, Calcitriol,MC 1288
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
