21
Q

PTH secretion impact on RANK/RANKL process

A

PTH stimulates an increase in Ca++
Therefore when PTH is increased, there is an increase in RANKL from osteoblasts binding to RANK in osteoclasts for bone resorption

22
Q

Inhibitor of RANK/RANKL

A

Osteoprotegerin (OPG)

23
Q

How is OPG an inhibitor

A

It inhibits osteoclasts differentiation and function

24
Q

Osteoclasts differentiation and bone resorption depends on

A

RANKL of osteoblasts and OPG

25
Q

Effect of PTH on kidney on distal convoulted tubule

A

Increase Ca++ reabsorption

26
Q

Consequence of increased reabsorption of Ca++ in distal convoluted tubule

A

Hypercalcemia

27
Q

Effect of PTH on proximal tubule

A

Decreased Pi reabsorption

28
Q

Consequence of decreased Pi reabsorption

A

Phosphaturia –> increased Pi excretion

29
Q

What does UV light activate in the process of Vit. D synthesis

A

Activated proVit D to cholecalciferol

30
Q

Cholecalciferol undergoes

A

Double hydroxylation

31
Q

Effects of Vit. D

A

Increased bone resorption and formation
Increased Ca++ reabsorption in kidney
Increased Ca++ absorption in intestine
Decreased PTH synthesis

32
Q

In intestine, Ca++ enters enterocytes through

33
Q

Inside cell, Ca++ captured by

34
Q

Ca++-Calbindin reaches bloodstream through

35
Q

Regulation of Vit. D synthesis through

36
Q

FGF23 produced by

A

Mature osteoblasts

37
Q

FGF23 binds to

A

Klotho receptor in kdney

38
Q

Binding of FGF23 to Klotho receptor in kidney causes

A

Phosphaturia –> decreased Pi reabsorption –> increased Pi excretion

39
Q

How does FGF23 impact Vit. D synthesis

A

FGF decreases calcitriol (1.25 Vitamin D) synthesis by supressing 1-a-hydroxylase

40
Q

Most rapid response to a hypocalcemia

A

Increase in PTH

41
Q

What does PTH activate in hypocalcemia

A

C1a activation

42
Q

C1a activation in hypocalcemia causes

A

Vitamin D activation (slower response than PTH)

43
Q

Result of hypocalcemia, Ca++, PTH, FGF23

A

Increased Ca++
Decreased PTH
Decreased FGF23

44
Q

Main role of PTHrp

A

In hypercalcemia and malginant tumors

45
Q

Function of PTHrp

A

Bone resorption and Ca++ reabsorption causing hypercalcemia

46
Q

If during hypercalcemia we have normal PTH levels, then we measure

47
Q

Function of calcitonin

A

Antiresorptive at bone level

48
Q

What secretes calcitonin

A

Parafollicular cells

49
Q

Calcitonin used in treating

A

Hypercalcemia

50
Q

Increased levels of ?? during medulary thryoid cancer

A

Calcitonin

51
Q

A

Increased Ca++ and Pi

53
Q

SUMMARY: Calcitonin impact on Ca++ and Pi

A

54
Q

SUMMARY: FGF23 impact on Pi, PTH and Vit. D

A

Promotes Pi excretion –> phosphaturia
Inhibits PTH
Inhibits Vit. D synthesis
