Lead in the marine environment: concentrations and effects on invertebrates
Lead (Pb) is a non-essential metal naturally present in the environment and often complexed with other elements (e.g., copper, selenium, zinc). This metal has been used since ancient Egypt and its extraction h...

Structural, electric and dielectric properties of Ca0.85Er0.1Ti1−xCo4x/3O3(0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1)
The structural and physical properties of Ca0.85Er0.1Ti1−xCo4x/3O3 (CETCox) (x = 0.00, 0.05 and 0.10), synthesized by sol–gel method were studied. The polycrystalline sample of CETCox was investigated by X-ray di...

A novel interaction between the FLJ33534 locus and smoking in obesity: a genome-wide study of 14 131 Pakistani adults
Obesity is a complex disease caused by the interplay of genetic and lifestyle factors, but identification of gene–lifestyle interactions in obesity has remained challenging. Few large-scale studies have report...

Calcium Signalling and Calcium Transport in Bone Disease
Calcium transport and calcium signalling mechanisms in bone cells have, in many cases, been discovered by study of diseases with disordered bone metabolism. Calcium matrix deposition is driven primarily by pho...

Calcium absorption and bone mineral density in celiacs after long term treatment with gluten-free diet and adequate calcium intake
Calcium malabsorption, hypocalcemia and skeletal demineralization are well-recognized features of untreated celiac disease. This study investigates calcium absorption and bone mineral density (BMD) after a pro...

Efferent Loop Small Intestinal Vitamin D Receptor Concentration and Bone Mineral Density after Billroth II (Polya) Gastrectomy in Humans
Animal studies have demonstrated that the highest concentration of vitamin D receptors (and greatest capacity for active calcium absorption) occurs in the proximal duodenum. By passing the duodenum following P...

Hormonal Control of Extracellular Calcium
Despite wide differences in calcium intake, plasma calcium is maintained with remarkable constancy. Approximately half of total plasma calcium is ionised and the remainder is largely bound to plasma albumin. E...
