Question
Chapter 19, Problem 27RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind:
1. Bone resorption caused by an inadequate intake of dietary calcium and vitamin D.
2. Bone deposition promoted by sufficient intake of calcium and vitamin D.
Introduction:
Vitamins are the organic compounds that are required in small amounts and maintain a set value. Any fluctuations in these values result in various problems. Vitamin D acts as both a vitamin and a prehormone in the body. Minerals also play an important role in the

- Distress has several important impacts on homeostasis of calcium, which would include: Group of answer choices Reduced uptake of calcium from the intestines, even if Vitamin D was high Reduced blood flow through the kidneys and thus less ability for PTH to stimulate activation of Vitamin D Reduced blood flow through the skin and thus reduced ability to activate Vitamin D within the skin Reduced ability for PTH to bind to its receptors on osteoclasts, and thus decreased ability to liberate calcium from bones ( explain all question with proper answer and type the answer ) .arrow_forwardexplain the effect of fat-soluble vitamins on patients with cystic fibrosisarrow_forwardExplain, as relevant, the connections between sources, functions, deficiencies and toxicities of vitamin E in type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic heart disease and explain, as relevant, the connections between sources, functions, deficiencies and toxicities of selenium in type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic heart disease.arrow_forward
