Calcium intake and body weight.

TL;DR: Estimates indicate that a 1000-mg calcium intake difference is associated with an 8-kg difference in mean body weight and that calcium intake explains approximately 3% of the variance in body weight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin D and its Major Metabolites: Serum Levels after Graded Oral Dosing in Healthy Men
TL;DR: The quantitative relationships between graded oral dosing with vitamin D3, 25(OH)D3, and 1,25( OH)2D3 for short treatment periods and changes in circulating levels of these substances were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium Absorptive Effects of Vitamin D and Its Major Metabolites
TL;DR: Analysis of the pooled 25(OH)D data suggests that approximately one eighth of circulating vitamin D-like absorptive activity under untreated conditions in winter may reside in 25( OH)D, a substantially larger share than has been predicted from studies of in vitro receptor binding.
Journal ArticleDOI
An investigation of sources of variation in calcium absorption efficiency.
TL;DR: Serum 25OHD, mouth to cecum transit time, and fasting urinary calcium/creatinine ratio explained 44% of the observed variation in calcium absorption efficiency, suggesting that 25O HD plays a more prominent role in the regulation of calcium absorption than is generally believed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone Dimensional Change with Age: Interactions of Genetic, Hormonal, and Body Size Variables
TL;DR: Femoral shaft expansion was of sufficient magnitude to suggest that the mechanical properties of the entire femur may change appreciably with age, and weight change strongly influenced gain (or loss) of femur cortical area.
