The Microvascular Bed of Fatty Bone Marrow in the Adult BeagleMiller, S. C., Jee, W. S.S. 01 January 1980 (has links)
The structure and ultrastructure of the microvascular bed of fatty bone marrow and the relationships of this vascular bed to endosteal bone surfaces was studied in adult beagles. The vascular volume of fatty bone marrow, as demonstrated by India ink-gelatin perfusion, appears less than the vascular volume of red bone marrow. The capillaries in fatty bone marrow are found between the large fat cells in a loose reticular connective tissue and have a continuous endothelial lining and basal lamina. Capillaries are frequently found adjacent to bone surfaces in these fatty marrow sites, yet are separated from these surfaces by very thin bone-lining cells. The nuclei of bone-lining cells are often found near these capillaries. The association of bone-lining cells to the microvasculature suggests that these cells may play a role in partitioning the extracellular fluids from the bone.

The Effects of EDTA Chelation Therapy on Plaque Calcium and Mineral Metabolism in Atherosclerotic RabbitsWalker, Foster M. 05 1900 (has links)
New Zealand albino rabbits exhibited calcified aortic plaques and maximum average serum cholesterol levels of 1200 mg percent after twenty-three weeks on an atherogenic diet (250 to 500 mg percent cholesterol in ten percent corn oil; 200,00 I.U. vitamin D3 per month). One month following termination of the atherogenic diet, rabbits were treated with disodium edetate (Na2EDTA, 50 mg/kg body weight) via the marginal ear vein, on alternating days for a total of twenty infusions each. Aortae were examined for tissue calcium both quantitatively (direct microcomplexometric analysis) and histologically six weeks after completion of EDTA chelation therapy.

Effect of calcium level and source on plasma total and lipoprotein cholesterol in men under controlled dietary conditionsKoenig, Vicki C. January 1987 (has links)
A metabolic study was conducted with 23 men to determine the effects on plasma lipids and lipoproteins of a high calcium intake from two sources compared to a normal level of calcium intake over an eight week controlled feeding period. Three diet treatments were examined: 1) high dietary calcium mainly from dairy sources (1600-1800 mg/day), 2) high dietary calcium supplied by a CaCO₃ supplement (1600-1800 mg/day), and 3) normal dietary calcium intake from mixed sources (600-800 mg/day). Fat, carbohydrate and protein were provided in the ratio of percent kcal as 40:49:11. Nutrient, cholesterol levels (500 mg) and polyunsaturated to saturated (P/S) fatty acid ratio (0.446) were held constant for all diet treatments. There were no significant differences between treatments or across time in plasma TC, LDL, HDL or VLDL-cholesterol. Levels remained similar throughout the controlled diet treatment and the pre- and post-treatment periods. At the level of fat content and P/S ratio tested, there was no hypocholesterolemic effect of elevated calcium intake on plasma lipids. / Master of Science

Calcium-boro-saccharate-gluconate: studies of preparation, toxicology and effect on serum calcium level in cowsAppleby, Aaron January 1942 (has links)
From the results of the previously described experiments, the following conclusions were drawn:
1. Boric acid increases the solubility of calcium d-saccharate in water. An increase in the concentration of boric acid results in an increase in the solubility of the saccharate.
2. Boric acid in solution reacts with calcium d-saccharate to form a new compound to which the name calcium boro-saccharate has been given.
3. A solution containing 10 parts acid, 37.5 parts calcium d-saccharate and 100 parts calcium gluconate in 500 parts distilled water is stable and is less toxic for rabbits and no more toxic for cows, when injected intravenously, than is the commercial product, Calcium-Boro-Gluconate.
4. The intravenous injection of either of these solutions into cows causes an immediate, marked rise in the serum calcium level. This rise is followed by a rapid drop, and, in the case of C-B-S-G Solution, there is a second rise in about one-half hour after injection.
5. The special centrifuge tubes for the determination of serum calcium are not reliable. Changes in construction and technic are necessary before the efficacy of such tubes can be improved. / Master of Science

The regulation of vitamin D metabolism in the kidney and boneAnderson, Paul Hamill. January 2002 (has links) (PDF)
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 226-273.) Investigates the regulation of the expression of CYP27B1, CYP24 and vitamin D receptor (VDR) mRNA, both in the bone and in the kidney, with the aim to determine whether the regulation of the vitamin D metabolism in the bone is independent from that in the kidney. The effects of age, dietary calcium and vitamin D status on the expression of these genes in both the kidney and the bone, as well as on a number of biochemical factors known to regulate the renal metabolism of 1,25D, such as PTH, calcium and 1,25D itself, were examined. CYP27B1 mRNA expression was also studied in histological sections of rat femoral bone.
