SymbolCaA silvery-white, moderately hard metallic element that is an alkaline-earth metal and occurs in minerals such as limestone and gypsum. It is a basic component of leaves, bones, teeth, and shells, and is essential for the normal growth and development of most animals and plants. Calci...
Calcium supplementation is recommended for patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis to prevent further bone density loss. However, recent studies have shown associations between high calcium supplementation and increased cardiovascular disease and kidney stones. This study looks into current recommendations for...
Osteopenia and osteoporosis leading to fractures affect a huge proportion of the population older than 50 years of age, and osteoporosis is considered a serious public health problem. Currently, more than 200 million people worldwide experience osteoporosis, and the numbers are increasing due to ...
A rat bone loss model was induced by performing OVX and administering a low Ca diet to clarify whether Ca supplementation is beneficial for the prevention of osteoporosis induced by estrogen and Ca deficiencies. Then, different concentrations of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) were administered to rats ...
The Rationale for Calcium Supplementation in the Therapeutics of Age-Related Osteoporosis R.L.The Aging Skeleton, 1999 CALCIUM BALANCE: EXTRACELLULAR SPACE VERSUS WHOLE BODY The mechanism of action of any therapeutic intervention must be clearly understood if it is to be used to maximum effect. This...
Moreover, after calcium supplementation for 1 week, the altered calcium metabolism had been largely restored. These results show that urinary metabolic profiling has high sensitivity to subtle metabolic perturbation. We were able to preliminarily distinguish the LCG from the NCG rats by urinary ...

Potassium supplementation moderately lowers BP by different mechanisms: a directvasodilatoreffect, a direct or an indirect natriuretic effect (implying an increase in the synthesis of renal kallikrenin, itself responsible for the synthesis ofbradykinin, a vasodilator and natriuretic peptide), and an incr...
The use of non-drug intervention for calcium deficiency has attracted attention in recent years. Although calcium carbonate is the preferred raw material for calcium supplementation, there are few reports on the mechanism of the combined action of chondr
some studies have suggested that a threshold of 30 ng·mL−1is preferable to maintain skeletal health.56Some individuals, however, do not respond to vitamin D supplementation with an increase in 25(OH)D. The factors controlling this lack of response are unknown. It has recently been shown...
