A

25-OH-vitamin D3 in the liver

amt of vitamin D3 due to diet

little biological activity
long half-life
indicator of vitamin D status
synthesis not regulated

30
Q

estrogen
testosterone
calcitonin

35
Q

hormones that favor increased bone resorption and decreased bone mass

A

parathyroid hormone

hyperparathyroidism:
due to tumor: high PTH, high Ca, low phosphate
due to persistent hypocalcemia: high PTH, low or normal ca, low phosphate

A

increase bone resportion
