Function of PTH?
increase plasma Ca and decrease plasma PO4 by increasing bone deposition and resorption and increasing kidney resorption of Ca
Fxn of vitamin D?
increase plasma Ca and decrease plasma PO4 by increasing GI abs of both, increasing calcium bone deposition and resorption, increase renal reabsorption of Ca and PO4
Fxn of calcitonin?
DECREASE plasma Ca and PO4 by DECREASE Ca bone resorption, decrease renal reabsorption, decrease GI absorption
Fxn of bisphosphanates (etidronate, pamidronate, alendronate, ibandronate, zoledronic acid, risedronate)?
stabilize hydroxyapatite crystals in bone, DECREASE formation, growth, dissolution, bone turnover
Fxn fluoride?
accumulate in bones and teeth, stabilize hydroxyapatite
Fxn glucocorticoids?
DECREASE Ca abs in GI, INCREASE Ca excretion in kidney
Fxn estrogens?
inhibit bone resorption
