Influence of Calcium-Sensing Receptor Gene on Urinary Calcium Excretion in Stone-Forming Patients

TL;DR: Ca excretion was higher in subjects bearing haplotypes 3, whereas those bearing haplotype 2 showed a slight increase of plasma Ca concentration, and CASR gene could be a component of the complex genetic background regulating Ca excretion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intestinal calcium absorption is associated with bone mass in stone-forming women with idiopathic hypercalciuria.

TL;DR: Results of the strontium absorption test suggest that the increase in calcium absorption is associated with a decrease in lumbar-spine BMD in hypercalciuric stone-forming women with high calcium intestinal absorption, a group of patients predisposed to loss of bone mass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arachidonic acid increases intracellular calcium in erythrocytes

TL;DR: It is concluded that AA could activate an erythrocyte voltage-independent Ca(2+) transport via an intermediate product of cyclooxygenase pathway; however, a direct interaction with the membrane lipid-protein cannot be excluded.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D Receptor mRNA Measured in Leukocytes with the TaqMan Fluorogenic Detection System: Effect of Calcitriol Administration

TL;DR: The TaqMan RT-PCR assay is a rapid and accurate method to measure VDR mRNA, and leukocytes are a useful model to study VDR and 1,25(OH)2D3 interactions, a finding resembling previously reported results obtained in cellular and animal models.

Kidney complications in primary hypercalciuria

TL;DR: Irrespective of its possible causal role, hypercalciuria may predict individual susceptibility to stones, nephrocalcinosis or arterial hypertension, and could become an instrument to identify subjects predis- posed to these disorders.
