A randomized intervention study to evaluate the effect of calcitriol therapy on the renin-angiotensin system in diabetes.

Journal article J Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone Syst · 2018 BACKGROUND: Prior studies suggest that vitamin D therapy may decrease cardiovascular disease risk in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) by lowering renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activity. However, randomized human intervention studies to evaluate the effect of vitami ... Full text Link to item Cite

Fibroblast Growth Factor 23, Mineral Metabolism, and Adiposity in Normal Kidney Function.

Journal article J Clin Endocrinol Metab · April 1, 2017 CONTEXT: Obesity is associated with poor bone mineralization and quality. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) plays an important role in skeletal physiology. OBJECTIVE: To test hypothesis that greater adiposity results in higher FGF23 levels among individu ...

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibition and Parathyroid Hormone Secretion.

Journal article Int J Endocrinol · 2017 BACKGROUND: Prior studies suggest that renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors decrease parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) on serum PTH in participants wi ... Full text Link to item Cite

Parathyroid Hormone and the Use of Diuretics and Calcium-Channel Blockers: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.

Journal article J Bone Miner Res · June 2016 Thiazide diuretic (TZ) use is associated with higher bone mineral density, whereas loop diuretic (LD) use is associated with lower bone density and incident fracture. Dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channels are expressed on parathyroid cells and may pla ... Full text Link to item Cite
