Research into metabolic bone disease has made remarkable progress
over the last 20 years, with the identification of numerous new
molecules and pathways regulating bone cells as well as their
plasma milieu. Their activities are largely regulated by the
physiological status of the body incorporating the biochemical,
physical and mechanical functions of bone, kidney and intestinal
tissues. The Physiological Basis of Metabolic Bone Disease
integrates the knowledge derived from molecular techniques with the
fundamental principles of the physiology of these organs. The book
places particular emphasis on bone cell activities and the
regulation of plasma calcium, phosphate homeostasis, and whole body
nutrition. It reviews the nutritional requirements for calcium and
vitamin D for the prevention of osteoporosis. It covers vitamin D,
calcium and phosphate absorption; calcium sensing receptors; the
role of parathyroid hormone; physiological actions of calcitonin;
and the diagnosis and significance of osteoporosis. Reviewing the
physiological significance of advances in the molecular biology of
metabolic bone disease, this book provides a valuable reference for
researchers as well as practicing clinicians.
