Sunlight UV plays an important role in synthesis of active vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 concentration depends on seasonal sunlight exposure. It was not state, whether these changes may act on secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHP) in hemodialysis (HD) patients. The aim of our analysis was to assess the relationship between seasons and parameters of Ca-P metabolism in HD patients with SHP. We studied 30 pts (F = 17, M = 13), aged 20-72 years (mean 49 +/- 13), duration of HD therapy 3-132 months (mean 54.4 +/- 43.7), treated with alphacalcidol (1 alpha OHD3) due to SHP. Blood was collected for PTH, Ca, P concentrations in January (1), April (IV), July (VII) and October (X); also doses of CaCO3 and 1 alpha OHD3 were analyzed. The day duration was: 7 hours and 51 minutes (I), 12.53 (IV), 16.37 (VII) and 11.39 (X), respectively. PTH concentration was significantly higher in I vs IV (882 +/- 588 vs 691 +/- 511 pg/ml, p < 0.05) and higher in X vs VII (831 +/- 600 vs 701 +/- 525 pg/ml, p < 0.05), despite drug dosage did not differ. Calcium concentration was lower in I vs IV and X, and phosphate concentration was lower in I compared to IV, VII i X. These changes suggest presence of seasonal rhythm of PTH concentration in HD patients with SHP. When assessing the effectiveness of SHP therapy, the season of the year when PTH concentration was tested should be taken into account.

Does Systematic Use of Small Doses of Vitamin D Have Anti-Inflammatory Effects and Effectively Correct Deficiency Among Healthy Adults?

Background: Calcitriol, beyond its well-established role in calcium and phosphate homeostasis, contributes to immunological processes. No known vitamin D dosage regimen effectively corrects the deficiency while accounting for immunoregulatory effects. Therefore, the purpose of this assessment was to determine whether regular administration of low doses of vitamin D might correct deficiency and have immunoregulatory effects.

1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) is a direct precursor of phytohormone ethylene. We used a phenyl isothiocyanate (PITC) derivatization modification method combined with spectrographic analysis to isolate and identify three products of the derivatization reactions of ACC and PITC. The MRM mode of UPLC-MS/MS was used to establish the analysis of 6-phenyl-5-thioxo-4,6-diazaspiro[2.

Our aim was to determine the effects of P intake on P balance, serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and bone resorption during the final 4 weeks prepartum and the first 8 weeks of lactation. Sixty pregnant multiparous Holstein Friesian dairy cows were assigned to a randomized block design with repeated measurements and dietary treatments arranged according to a 2 × 2 factorial design. The experimental diets contained 3.

Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is the third most common endocrine disease, affecting predominantly postmenopausal women. About 85% of cases are caused by a solitary parathyroid adenoma which leads to a hypersecretion of the parathyroid hormone (PTH) and consequently to elevated serum calcium concentrations. Parathyroidectomy is the only curative treatment.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is treated surgically. Postoperatively, close monitoring of blood calcium levels is necessary to detect any hypocalcemia. Postoperative PTH assays can be performed within 24hours to identify patients who will not develop permanent hypoparathyroidism.
