The Niemann-Pick C1 Protein Resides in a Vesicular Compartment Linked to Retrograde Transport of Multiple Lysosomal Cargo
Edward B. Neufeld,Meryl E. Wastney,Shutish C. Patel,Sundar Suresh,Adele Cooney,Nancy K. Dwyer,Calvin F. Roff,Kousaku Ohno,Jill A. Morris,Eugene D. Carstea,John P. Incardona,Jerome F. Strauss,Marie T. Vanier,Marc C. Patterson,Roscoe O. Brady,Peter G. Pentchev,E. Joan Blanchette-Mackie +16 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a distinctive organelle containing NPC1 mediates retrograde lysosomal transport of endocytosed cargo that is not restricted to sterol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone Markers, Calcium Metabolism, and Calcium Kinetics During Extended-Duration Space Flight on the Mir Space Station
Scott M. Smith,Meryl E. Wastney,Kimberly O. O'Brien,Boris Morukov,Irina M. Larina,Steven A. Abrams,Janis E. Davis-Street,Victor Oganov,Linda Shackelford +8 more
TL;DR: Bone markers, calcitropic hormones, and calcium kinetics of crew members on space missions of 4–6 months were evaluated and spaceflight‐induced bone loss was associated with increased bone resorption and decreased calcium absorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral calcium carbonate affects calcium but not phosphorus balance in stage 3–4 chronic kidney disease
Kathleen M. Hill,Berdine R. Martin,Meryl E. Wastney,George P. McCabe,Sharon M. Moe,Connie M. Weaver,Munro Peacock +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied eight patients with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) who received a controlled diet with or without a calcium carbonate supplement (1500mg/day calcium) during two 3-week balance periods in a randomized placebo-controlled cross-over design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium metabolism before, during, and after a 3-mo spaceflight: kinetic and biochemical changes.
Scott M. Smith,Meryl E. Wastney,Boris Morukov,Irina M. Larina,Laurence E. Nyquist,Steven A. Abrams,Elena N. Taran,Chih Yu Shih,Jeannie L. Nillen,Janis E. Davis-Street,Barbara L. Rice,Helen W. Lane +11 more
TL;DR: Results from Skylab missions in the 1970s are extended to determine the time course of changes in calcium homeostasis during flight to develop and assess countermeasures against flight-induced bone loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nondigestible Oligosaccharides Increase Calcium Absorption and Suppress Bone Resorption in Ovariectomized Rats
TL;DR: It is concluded that feeding NDO at 5.5 g/100 g for 21 d has a positive effect on calcium absorption and retention in ovariectomized rats.
