Once thought to be 8 billion years old, the star HD 110067 — famous for its six synchronized exoplanets — may be only 2.5 ...

Unbound calcium is not attached to a protein. It's the active form of calcium, called free or ionized calcium. In most cases, a total calcium blood level is ordered. In specific scenarios ...

Calcimimetics suppress secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by increasing the sensitivity of the calcium receptors of parathyroid cells to extracellular ionized calcium. As the activity of drugs ...

After three doses, careful monitoring of ionized calcium is necessary to avoid dangerous hypercalcemia. Calcium is administered to improve hemodynamics. Hypercalcemia may lead to an ileus ...

Atherosclerosis causes the smooth, elastic lining of the coronary arteries to become hard, stiff, and swollen because of plaque. These are deposits of calcium, fats, and abnormal inflammatory cells ...

How many times have you heard that you need to drink milk for strong bones? While your body does need calcium, there are better—and healthier—sources of calcium that come without the harmful effects ...

Calcium is essential for bone health. Yet 16 percent of 11–18 year olds and 9 percent of 16–49 year olds consume less than the Lowest Reference Nutrient Intake (LRNI) of calcium through food ...

Summary: Researchers have uncovered a groundbreaking mechanism called Electro-Calcium (E-Ca) coupling that integrates electrical and calcium signaling in brain capillaries. This process ensures ...

Of the studied mice, 78% were inbred strains, with 70% of the studies including mice with a C57BL/6 background (Figure 3A). Ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba-1) was the most prominent ...
