Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium and osteoporosis
TL;DR: The dependence of the urinary hydroxyproline on the urinary calcium and sodium suggests that the bone resorption is a response to calcium losses rather than a primary event, and there is some doubt as to whether it can inhibit trabecular bone loss in women close to the menopause.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin D Metabolites and Calcium Absorption in Severe Vitamin D Deficiency
Allan G. Need,Peter D. O’Loughlin,Howard A. Morris,Penelope Coates,Michael Horowitz,B. E. Christopher Nordin +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that vitamin D deficiency does not reduce serum 1,25( OH)2D, and therefore calcium absorption, until the serum 25(OH)D falls to ∼10 nM, at this level, the substrate concentration seems to be insufficient to maintain the level of the dihydroxy metabolite despite secondary hyperparathyroidism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between fasting serum glucose, age, body mass index and serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D in postmenopausal women
TL;DR: Examination of the relationship between serum vitamin D metabolites and fasting serum glucose in patients attending outpatient clinics found no significant relationship between these levels and type I diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of age on calcium absorption in postmenopausal women
B. E. Christopher Nordin,Allan G. Need,Howard A. Morris,Peter D. O’Loughlin,Michael Horowitz +4 more
TL;DR: A late age-related decrease in calcium absorption is seen in postmenopausal women in addition to the decline that occurs at menopause, and could be due to a decline in either the active calcium transport or diffusion component of the calcium absorption system.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Age and Other Variables on Serum Parathyroid Hormone in Postmenopausal Women Attending an Osteoporosis Center
Allan G. Need,Peter D. O’Loughlin,Howard A. Morris,Michael Horowitz,B. E. Christopher Nordin +4 more
TL;DR: Serum PTH appeared to start when serum 25(OH)D fell less than 80 nmol/liter, and could not be explained by the serum concentration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, which did not change with age.
