25
what is the function of the extracellular phosphate free in solution
buffer to maintain physiological pH
26
which serum level varies more: phosphate or calcium?
phosphate as it is not as tightly regulated
27
what organs are involved in calcium and phosphate homeostasis
gut, skeleton, kidney, and parathyroids
28
how are calcium and phosphate concentrations regulated in the gut
through absorption
29
how are calcium and phosphate concentrations regulated in the skeleton
bone turnover
30
how are calcium and phosphate concentrations regulated in the kidney
filtration and reabsorption
31
what are calcium and phosphate concentrations regulated in parathyroids
hormone secretion
32
what are the 3 steps in calcium uptake
-uptake of calcium from apical side of cell by ion channels belonging to TRP superfamily (transient receptor potential ion channels) - transcellular transport of calcium - by calcium binding proteins (calbindins) - extrustion of calcium on basal surface of cell by membrane transport proteins (Ca2_ ATPases or Na+ dependent Ca2+ exchangers)
33
what does the TRPV6 channel do
Ca2+ uptake on apical side of intestinal epithelial cell
34
what does calbindin D9K do
transcellular transport of Ca2+ to basal side of cell
35
what does Ca2+ ATPase1b do
pumps Ca2+ out of basal side of cell
36
what happens during high dietary calcium intake
passive calcium uptake by a diffusional paracellular path of absorption occurs
37
how is phosphate taken up into the cell
by phosphate transporter Na+ dependent Pi co-transporter type 2b on brush border of ileum
38
what happens after intestinal absorption of calcium and phospate into blood
filtered in kidney glomerulus
39
how much calcium and phosphate are reabsorbed in kidney tubules
99% of Ca2+ and 85-95% of Pi
40
what are the 3 steps in Ca2+ uptake in renal reabsorption
-uptake - transcellular transport - extrusion
41
what does Pi uptake look like in renal absorption
same mechanism as in gut but different isoforms of Na+ depended Pi co-transporter
42
what hormones are involved in calcium homeostasis
-PTH -calcitriol - calcitonin
43
what hormones are involved in phosphate homeostasis
PTH, calcitriol, FGF23, and DMP1/PHEX
44
when is PTH released
when serum calcium is low
45
how does the body increase calcium in the blood
increase calcium release from bone, increase calcium uptake in gut, increase calcium reabsorption in kidney
46
what are serum calcium concentrations detected by
calcium sensing receptor expressed in the parathyroid gland
47
what does high serum calcium do to CasR signaling
increases it
48
describe PTH
84 amino acid peptide hormone produced by parathyroid glands
49
what is the PTH receptor called
PTH1R
50
what type of receptor is PTH1R
GPCR
51
what are PTH actions mediated via
activation of adenylate cyclase/cAMP production
52
what does CaSR signaling shut off do to PTH
leads to release of PTH
53
what does PTH do
-increases bone resorption (releases Ca and Pi) - increases calcium reabsorption in kidney - opposite effect on phosphate reabsorption in kidney
54
what does PTH stimulate in kidney
conversion of 25(OH)D3 to active form 1,25(OH)2D3
55
what are the actions of 1,25(OH)2D3
-induces expression of calbindins and other components of calcium transport system -induces expression of phosphate transporters
56
what does the expression of calbindins and other components of calcium transport system result in
INCREASED: -Ca2+ uptake in intestine -Ca2+ reabsorption in the kidney tubules - Ca2+ release into circulation from bone
57
what does the expression of phsophate transporters result in
INCREASED: - Pi uptake in the intestine - Pi reabsorption in they kidney tubules - Pi release into circulation from bone
58
what do the combined actions of PTH and 1,25(OH)2D3 result in
increase serum calcium and phosphate back to normal range
59
what happens when Ca2+ returns to normal
further production of PTH inhibited and inhibition by active Vit D3
60
what is the homeostatic response to high serum calcium mediated through
modulation of expression of calcium transporter proteins
61
when is calcitonin released and by what
released by thyroid gland in response to elevated serum calcium
62
what does calcitonin oppose
PTH actions
63
what is the major effect of calcitonin
inhibits osteoclast resorption in bone by causing retraction of osteoclast ruffled border
64
what is the minor effect of calcitonin
inhibits renal reabsorption of Ca2+ and phosphate allowing them to be excreted in the urin
65
why calcitonin NOW though to play a more minor role
thyroid tumors that secrete excessive amounts of calcitonin have normal serum calcium
66
does the removal of the thyroid have a large affect on calcium homeostasis
NO
67
what are the main regulators of phosphate homeostasis
-PTH, active vitamin D 3 - FGF 23
68
when is expression of FGF23 induced
when serum phosphate is too high
69
what does PTH do w phosphate
- increases phosphate relase from bone - decreases renal phosphate reabsorption - increases active vitamin D3 production by kidney
70
what does 1,25(OH)2D3 do
- increases phosphate release from bone - increases renal phosphate reabsorption - increases phosphate uptake in gut
71
what is FGF 23 expression in osteocytes inhibited by
DMP-1 and PHEX
72
what is a major source of endocrine FGF23 and regulate phosphate homeostasis
osteocytes
73
what are FGF23 actions in the kidney
-decreases reabsorption of phosphate - decreases production of active vit D3
74
what is the overall effect of FGF23
lowers serum phosphate
75
what is the main mechanism for rapid regulation of phosphate
kidney reabsorption
76
where are NaPi2a and NaPi2c expressed

77
how does PTH inhibit phosphate reabsorption

78
what results in the absence of PTH
increases phosphate reabsoprtion
79
