3 drinks/day
|
|

2 alcoholic beverages/day

|
Are thin or overweight people more susceptible to bone catabolism?
|
Thin.
Low BMI and weight loss are factors that increase bone catabolism. |
|
|
What are the 2 critical nutritional components for healthy bones?
|
Vitamin D
Calcium |
|
|
What is calcium's role in bone formation?
|
It is essential for bone mineralization.
(hydroxyapatite is made of calcium, phosphate, OH) |
|
|
What is the vitamin formed by cholesterol and UV light?
|
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)
|
|
|
What happens to cholecalciferol?
|
It is oxidized in the liver to 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol
|
|
|
What happens to 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol?
|
It is oxidized in the kidney to
1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol aka: 1,25-(OH)2-D3 aka: calcitriol |
|
|
What is calcitriol?
|
1. The most active metabolite of vitamin D3.
2. An important calcium regulating hormone |
|
|
What is the action of calcitriol?
|
1. Stimulates a calcium binding protein - facilitating calcium transport in gut, bone, kidney.
2. Facilitates phosphate transport |
|
|
How is production of calcitriol regulated?
|
1. low Ca/PO4 increases PTH, PTH activates kidney enzyme for calcitriol synthesis
2. high PO4 inhibits synthesis |
|
|
How is one way (nutritionally) that you can get high phosphates (PO4)?
|
Drink a lot of pop.
