Increased erythrocyte (Ca+Mg)ATPase activity was previously observed in idiopathic hypercalciuria. In order to verify if this alteration is a primary or a secondary event, we studied Sr influx in erythrocytes from subjects with idiopathic hypercalciuria. (Ca+Mg)ATPase activity was significantly higher in hypercalciuric than in hypercalciuric than in normocalciuric subjects whereas no difference in Sr influx was found between the two groups. (Ca+Mg)ATPase activity positively correlated with the erythrocyte Sr content found after 5 min of incubation and with urine Ca excretion. The normal Sr permeability suggests that (Ca+Mg)ATPase is primarily altered in idiopathic hypercalciuria. The primary increase of (Ca+Mg)ATPase activity may enhance passive Ca influx by reduction of cellular Ca concentration. It may induce a defect in cellular Ca metabolism that may cause idiopathic hypercalciuria by stimulating bone Ca turn-over and enteral Ca absorption.

D008297 Male Males
D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.

D010710 Phosphates Inorganic salts of phosphoric acid. Inorganic Phosphate,Phosphates, Inorganic,Inorganic Phosphates,Orthophosphate,Phosphate,Phosphate, Inorganic
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.

D001692 Biological Transport The movement of materials (including biochemical substances and drugs) through a biological system at the cellular level. The transport can be across cell membranes and epithelial layers. It also can occur within intracellular compartments and extracellular compartments.

D013324 Strontium An element of the alkaline earth family of metals. It has the atomic symbol Sr, atomic number 38, and atomic weight 87.62.
D017301 Ca(2+) Mg(2+)-ATPase An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP and is activated by millimolar concentrations of either Ca(2+) or Mg(2+). Unlike CA(2+)-TRANSPORTING ATPASE it does not require the second divalent cation for its activity, and is not sensitive to orthovanadate. (Prog Biophys Mol Biol 1988;52(1):1).
