Dietary calcium, calcium kinetics and plasma parathyroid hormone concentration in cows. 1976

C F Ramberg, and G P Mayer, and D S Kronfeld, and J T Potts

Kinetic analysis of radiocalcium data was combined with radioimmunoassays of plasma parathyroid hormone in nonpregnant nonlactating cows 4.5 to 7.8 years of age whose calcium intake was varied from 0.05% to 1.4% of the diet. Calcium intake had no significant effect on plasma concentration of calcium or parathyroid hormone. It had a slight but significant effect on the plasma phosphorus concentration. As calcium intake increased, calcium absorption increased but calcium removal from bone decreased so that total calcium transport into the exchangeable pool remained fairly constant. A decline in calcium clearance with age was accompanied by a fall in plasma parathyroid hormone concentration, and a decrease in calcium transport into the pool. These observations are consistent with feedback controls between plasma calcium, parathyroid hormone and calcium transport operating to maintain plasma calcium homeostasis as calcium clearance declined with advancing age.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
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.

D010758 Phosphorus A non-metal element that has the atomic symbol P, atomic number 15, and atomic weight 31. It is an essential element that takes part in a broad variety of biochemical reactions.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
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.
