Where is vitamin D formed?

Where is fully activated Vitamin D produced?

What is added to activate vitamin D?

Activated vitamin D is also known as...
Skin

kidney

1-hydroxyl group

Calcitriol
Parathyroid hormone is secreted in response to...

It reacts to what type of receptor....

PTH causes ...... of bones, which is done by promoting ..... maturation

It also decreases ....... synthesis by ......

PTH also regulates amount of ..... reabsorbed
low blood Ca2+

G-protein couple receptor (GPCR)

osteoclast

collagen synthesis by osteoblast

Calcium
If you have kidney disease, what type of vitamin D must you receive?
1-hydroxy or calcitriol

Because kidney activates vitamin D by adding this
Calcitonin is secreted by the ....

Stimulated by increased blood .... as well as some .....

Calcitonin signals....
parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland; C cells

Calcium as well as some GI hormones

Storage of Ca
Where is the 25-hydroxy group added to vitamin D?

Once vitamin D is activated it travels to the gut and activates....

What must you have to take up Ca
the liver

genes for calcium transporters in the gut to allow Ca to be absorbed

Vitamin D
When there is low Ca, it stimulates...

This stimulant causes more activation of ....

Also, this causes Ca reabsorption in ....

What does the increase of Ca2+ in the blood do? (after the fact)
PTH

Active Vitamin D

glomerulus/tubules.

Inhibit parathyroid hormone
If Ca is still low, what does PTH do?

What inhibits PTH
inhibits osteoblast and activates osteoclast and Ca resorption

Increases Ca channels in gut to uptake more Ca

- active Ca inhibits PTH
If Ca is high what happens?
PTH is decreased

Ca is no not uptook in the gut and excreted in the kidneys

Calcitonin is produced from C-cells and promotes bone mineralization

Calcitonin also inhbits 25, hydroxy D3 and makes 24,25 dihydroxy D3
what do these hormones do to Ca and phosphorus (individually)

PTH

Vitamin D3

Calcitonin (only calcium)
PTH: Increases Ca uptake in GI and increase resorption from bone
decrease plasma P; excreted in urine

Vitamin D3: Increases Ca uptake from GI
Increase P uptake from GI

Calcitonin: decrease plasma Ca and increase into bone
Hypercalcemia:

Hyperparathyroidism
Addison's disease
Tumors
Hyperparathyroidism - too much PTH

Addison's disease - will have volume contraction, osmolarity increases

Tumors - release cytokines that stimulate bone resorption (IL-1 and 6)
Hyperparathyroidism:

Primary

Secondary
Primary - gland is not listening to signals, disregulation with in gland ex. paraythyroid adenoma

Secondary - defect at glads that regulate hormone production/release at the gland, defects else where telling gland what to do.
Hypocalcemia can be caused by ...
not enough Vit D or calcium, could have problem with absorption

Surgical removal of thyroid gland - hyperphosphatemia (wouldn't have c-cells and parathyroid gland, no regulation on kidney from PTH
Osteomalacia and Rickets is

Rickets is in...

Osteomalacia is in...

Usually caused by...
Inadequate mineralization of new bone

children

Adults

Caused by Vitamin D deficency
Osteoporosis is ...

Resorption is ... than formation

More likely to occur in ...
decrease in total bone mass or density

Resorption is > than formation

Women, White or Asian, Family history of osteoporosis, low body weight.
Disease that contribute to osteoporosis are: (7)
1. Thyrotoxicosis
2. Primary hyperparathyroidism
3. Hypogonadism
4. COPD
5. Cushing's syndrome
6. Chronic renal or hepatic failure
7. Malignancies
Paget's disease is ...

Cause?

Symptoms? (3)
bones have a disorganized structure

cause: genetic study says its not genetic, dont' know the cause

signs and symptoms: bone pain, bone deformity, elevated alkaline phosphatase
