INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT OF CALCIUM METABOLISM

该子项目是利用NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为中心，不一定是研究者所在机构。这种长期存在的通用矿物质代谢协议已被证明是不断有用的评估不寻常的矿物质代谢紊乱。在评估影响钙吸收性的因素、食物-钙相互作用、碎石术对结石形成风险的影响、GnRH激动剂治疗引起的钙代谢变化以及高钙血症、骨质疏松症和其他骨疾病的罕见病例的发病背景时，其应用尤其值得注意。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This long-standing generic mineral metabolism protocol has proven to be continually useful in assessing unusual disorders of mineral metabolism. Its' utilization was particularly noteworthy in assessing the factors affecting calcium absorbability, food-calcium interaction, effect of lithotripsy on stone- forming risks, changes in calcium metabolism ensuing from GnRH agonist therapy and pathogenetic background in unusual cases of hypercalcemia, osteoporosis, and miscellaneous bone diseases.
