Q

When does uptake of phosphate happen in cells and why?

A

after feeding (insulin) - because insulin stimulates phosphate uptake in order to phosphorylate​ glucose

Q

What happens to phosphate when calcium is released from bone?

A

phosphate is also released

24
Q

how much phosphate present in plasma is filtered?

A

around 90% - not much protein binding of phosphate

25
Phosphate is actively reabsorbed by?
proximal tubule ( Co transport with Na+ which​ is regulated by PTH)
26
phosphate overflow process:
1. Phosphate filtered by the ​glomerulus 2. reabsorbed by proximal tubule via co-transport 3. some escapes from reabsorption (overflow) and is excreted
27
What does the rate of phosphate secretion depend on?
1. depends on GFR 2. It is proportional​ to plasma phosphate 3. phosphate transporter salurate
28
Where will you see phosphate present in urine:
in normal circumstances
29
Excess PTH = __ phosphate
less phosphate
30
lack of PTH = __ phosphate
more phosphate
31
Is a major INTERCELLULAR cation?
magnesium
32
Where is the majority of magnesium present?
bone matrix
33
regulation of Mg:
not understood
34
Is a major site of Mg absorption​?
thick ascending​ loop o
35
___ can increase Mg excretion?
Aldosterone
36
hormones involved in calcium balance?
- PTH - Active Vitamin D3 - Calcitonin --> produced by c-cells in thyroid gland
37
hormones involved in phosphate balance?
- FGF-23 - Hormones regulating calcium also affect phosphate
38
PTH secretion is regulated by?
ionized calcium
39
inhibit PTH (negative feedback)
- vitamin D3 - FGF-23 - severe hypomagnesium
40
Effects of PTH:
- stimulates Ca2+ and phosphate from bone - promotes renal reabsorption of Ca2+ from the distal tubule - Promotes renal excretion of phosphate - stimulates synthesis of active Vitamin D3- 1,25 - promotes Mg absorption from loop
41
Whemn PTH is reduced ___ returns calcium to bone?
1,25 D3
42
PTH: Bone
stimulates release pf Ca and phosphate from bone to ECF
43
PTH: Kidney
- promotes phosphate excretion via urine - makes more 1, 25 Vitamin D3 - reabsorb calcium
44
PTH: ECF
- v1, 25 D3 increases absorption of Ca and phosphate from gut
45
Where is Viatmin D3 obtained?
diet or skin
46
25-hydroxylated by?
liver (not regulated)
47
1 alpha hydroxylated by?
kidney (active)
48
enhances 1 alpha hydroxylated ?
PTH
49

50
24-hydroxylated by ?
kidney (inactive)
51
inhibits 24-hydroxylated:
- PTH
52
enhances 24 hydroxylate?
phosphate / FGF-23
53
Calcitronin is secreted by ?
C- cells of the ​thyroid gland
54
FGF-23 produced by?
osteoblasts and osteocytes in repsonse to an ​increase in ECF phosphate
55
FGF-23 inhibits
phosphate entry / lowers phosphate in ECF by: - inhibiting calcitriol formation ( inhibits PO4 entry in the gut - inhibits PTH secretion ( inhibits PO4 release from bone) - inhibits proximal tubular reabsorption of PO4
