Vitamin D and its' metabolites are a crucial part of the endocrine system that controls whole
body calcium homeostasis. The goal of this hormonal control is to regulate serum calcium …

Vitamin D is a critical regulator of calcium and bone homeostasis. While vitamin D has
multiple effects on bone and calcium metabolism, the regulation of intestinal calcium (Ca) …

A review of in vitro bioaccessibility and bioavailability methods for polyphenols and selected
nutrients is presented. The review focuses on in vitro solubility, dialyzability, the dynamic …

Ca2+ is an essential ion in all organisms, where it plays a crucial role in processes ranging
from the formation and maintenance of the skeleton to the temporal and spatial regulation of …

Optimal intestinal calcium (Ca) absorption is necessary for the protection of bone and the
prevention of osteoporosis. Ca absorption can be represented as the sum of a saturable …

Since calcium and phosphorus play vital roles in a multitude of physiologic systems,
disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism always lead to severe consequences such …

We examined the expression of calcium transporter 1 (CaT1) and epithelial calcium channel
(ECaC) mRNA in the duodenum and kidney of mice. Intestinal CaT1 mRNA level increased …

Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are involved in various physiological processes,
including sensory transduction. The TRP channel TRPV6 mediates calcium uptake in …

It is well accepted that the intestinal absorption of calcium occurs by 2 distinct mechanisms,
a saturable active transport process and a nonsaturable passive diffusion process. The …

Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 6 (TRPV6)(ECAC2, CaT1) is the major ion
channel in intestinal epithelial cell membranes responsible for calcium entry. Its expression …
