  2. 1. The megalin receptor

    Author : Göran Hjälm; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; calcium; parathyroid; gp330; megalin; LRP-2; LDL-receptor super family; endogenous retroviruse; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Medical Biochemistry; medicinsk biokemi;

    Abstract : Ionized calcium is a major player in the living organism. Its importance in both intra- and extracellular mechanisms have been studied in a broad number of publications. READ MORE

  4. 2. Calcium Homeostasis in Patients with Graves' Disease

    Author : Maria Annerbo; Per Hellman; Peter Stålberg; Peyman Björklund; Filipsson Nyström Helena; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Graves Disease; Calcium homeostasis; Total thyroidectomy; Bone metabolism; Calcium sensing receptor; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : Patients with Graves´ Disease (GD) have a higher risk of developing more severe and prolonged hypocalcaemia after total thyroidectomy (TT) than patients who undergo surgery for benign atoxic goitre. Since TT is the most effective treatment for GD, it is crucial to identify mechanisms for postoperative hypocalcaemia. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Role of Protein Kinase C in the Extracellular Ca2+-regulated Secretion of Parathyroid Hormone

    Author : Amos M. Sakwe; Lars Rask; Claes Juhlin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; parathyroid hormone; Ca2 ; protein kinase C; calcium sensing receptor; ERK1 2; biosynthesis; secretion; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is the major physiological regulator of the extracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]o) in the body. The secretion of this hormone is suppressed at high [Ca2+]o. READ MORE

  6. 4. New insights in parathyroid hormone secretion : with focus on exocytosis and calcium signaling

    Author : Ming Lu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The parathyroid is distinguished from other endocrine systems since its primary stimuli inhibit hormone secretion. It is generally considered that extracellular Ca2+ binds to a membrane receptor (calcium sensing receptor, or CaSR), and via second messengers modulate parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion. READ MORE

  7. 5. Genomic and non-genomic effects of a new sodium-sensing network in renal and lung epithelia

    Author : Kristina Eneling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sodium and water homeostasis is crucial for cell function, survival and health of the individual. The kidney is responsible for sodium regulation in the body, balancing sodium secretion and reabsorption, and thereby also regulating the blood pressure, primarily via the Na+, K -ATPase. READ MORE
