Plasma 1,25 hydroxycholecalciferol concentrations and net intestinal calcium, phosphate and magnesium absorption in man.

We evaluated the relationship between plasma concentrations of the renal hormone (I,25(OH)2 vitamin D and net intestinal CA,PO4 and Mg absorption in healthy volunteers eating similar diets. Net intestinal CA absorption was positively correlated to plasma I,25(OH)2D concentrations. By contrast, there was no significant correlation between PO4 and Mg absorption and plasma I,25(OH)2D concentrations. We conclude that net intestinal Ca absorption is critically dependent upon the availability of renal homone, while other factors must play a dominant role in regulating net intestinal PO4 and MG absorption.

Adult

Serum alpha-tocopherol, lipids, potassium and creatine phosphokinase in normal and patients with malabsorption.

Serum alpha-tocopherol, lipids, potassium and creatine phosphokinase levels we-remeasured in 20 adult male control patients and 120 malabsorption patients. The malabsorption group had significantly lower serum alpha-tocopherol levels than the control group. The change was independent of serum total lipid levels that were not significantly different among the two groups. Serum potassium and creatine phosphokinase did not correlate with serum alpha-tocopherol levels in either control and malabsorption group. Body mass indices that are directly relate to adiposity increased with increase of serum alpha-tocopherol and total lipids of serum.

Adult

[Collagen and hydroxyproline in carcass and skin of young rats fed with hypoproteic and hypocaloric diet].

The AA, reports the variations of collagen of carcass and skin of overnourished and proteic and caloric malnourished rats. The level of collagen is higher in malnourished when compared with normal and overnourished rats. The insoluble hydroxyproline concentration is higher in malnourished than in overnourished rats. This is reported to a variation of metabolic enzymatic patterns related to the catabolism of collagen.

Animals

[Basal metabolism and dynamic activity of food in obesity].

Metabolic rate of obese patients is reported, recorded to cellular active mass. The metabolic rate is higher in obese patients and the value is diucthy related to individual actual weight. The dinamic-specific action of proteins is normal.
