Vitamin D deficiency is a potentially modifiable risk factor that may be targeted for breast cancer prevention. We examined the safety, feasibility, and biomarker effects of high-dose vitamin D among women at high risk for breast cancer. Forty high-risk women, defined as a 5-year breast cancer risk
1alpha, 25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3], the biologically active form of vitamin D, is an important hormone that is critically required for the maintenance of mineral homeostasis and structural integrity of bones. 1,25-(OH)2D3 accomplishes this by facilitating calcium absorption from the gut
The effect of a low calcium diet, mithramycin, or dichlorodimethylene bisphosphonate were evaluated in nude mice with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy associated with the transplanted canine adenocarcinoma (CAC-8). Low calcium (0.01%) diet significantly reduced serum calcium levels in
BACKGROUND
The objective of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose and safety of LR-103, a Vitamin D analogue, in patients with advanced cancer.
METHODS
In Step A, patients received oral LR-103 once daily in 14-day cycles with intra-patient dose escalation per accelerated dose
The geminal bisphosphonates are a new class of drugs characterised by a P-C-P bond. Consequently, they are analogues of pyrophosphate, but are resistant to chemical and enzymatic hydrolysis. The bisphosphonates bind strongly to hydroxyapatite crystals and inhibit their formation and dissolution.
Hypercalciuria is a common feature during metabolic acidosis and associates to nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis. The mechanisms sensing acidosis and inducing increased urinary calcium excretion are still unknown. Here we tested whether mice deficient for proton-activated Ovarian cancer G-protein
Primary hypercalciuria (PH) is very often accompanied by some degree of bone demineralization. The most frequent clinical condition in which this association has been observed is calcium nephrolithiasis. In patients affected by this disorder, bone density is very frequently low, and increased
OBJECTIVE
Substantial experimental and epidemiological data indicate that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol) has potent antiproliferative effects on human prostate cancer cells. We performed an open label, nonrandomized pilot trial to determine whether calcitriol therapy is safe and efficacious
The effect of one single injection of two new bisphosphonates, 4-amino-1-hydroxybutylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate and 2-(2-pyridyl)ethylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate, and of dichloromethylenebisphosphonate on the hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria induced by the Walker carcinosarcoma 256/B in the
Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) and PTH share the common PTH/PTHrP receptor. Although an elevated level of circulating PTHrP in patients with malignancies causes hypercalcemia as does PTH, chronic and systemic effects of PTHrP on bone metabolism in humans are not well understood because
Nearly a century ago it was discovered that metabolic acidosis promotes hypercalciuria. Studies have described intrarenal and extrarenal mechanisms underlying calcium wasting in acidosis, in part by altering bone metabolism but also by directly inhibiting renal calcium transport. In this issue of
Line A Walker carcinoma differs from line B in that it does not elicit hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria when implanted in rats at various sites (s.c, i.m., intraaortically). However, Walker 256/A, unlike line B, may invade the tibia when implanted i.m. in the adjacent gastrocnemius muscle. This
We evaluated the effects of chronic massive elevations of serum GH and PRL on calcium metabolism in rats bearing the MStT/W15 and 7315a transplantable pituitary tumors. MStT/W15 tumor rats manifest elevated serum GH and PRL levels, hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, and elevated serum levels of PTH and
Hypercalciuria is a very frequent disorder that is defined by a daily calcium excretion rate in excess of 0.1 mmol/kg. Whatever its mechanism, it always expresses an increased input of calcium in extracellular fluid, from intestine and (or) bone. In few instances, hypercalciuria is secondary to an
In the group of 1635 patients with nephorolithiasis the authors found 16% with idiopathic hypercalciuria. They administered thiazide diuretics for 8 days as a test for the detection of masked hyperparathyroidism in idiopathic hypercalciuria. In 6 cases which were diagnosed in this manner, the
