Explore the role of hormones like Parathyroid Hormone, Vitamin D, and Calcitonin in regulating bone growth and calcium balance. Learn about key processes and receptors involved in responding to low calcium levels, as well as the effects on bone density. Discover the significance of Vitamin D activation and its impact on calcium absorption.

PTH on bone • Increase blood Ca++ • Bone breakdown • Expect receptors on osteoclasts but receptors on osteoblasts
Fast release of calcium Activates calcium channels in osteocytes, so calcium transferred from bone fluid to osteocytes then via gap junctions to osteoblasts to blood.
Slow release of calcium Activates osteoclast proliferation, activity, break down mineralized bone

PTH on kidney • Increase blood Ca 2+ • Stimulate active transport of Ca 2+ from tubule • Reabsorb 90% w/o PTH, 99% w/PTH • Stimulate PO 4- excretion, so Ca 2+ doesn’t precipitate
PTH on small intestine • No direct effect • Increase blood Ca++ • Stimulate Ca++ absorption indirectly • activate Vitamin D

Vitamin D effects • Small intestine • Absorb Ca++ • Kidney • Slight reabsorption Ca++ • Bone • Indirect effect – more Ca++ deposited in bone because increased Ca++ in blood • Via Vit D Receptor – move Ca++ out of bone • Increase number of osteoclasts • Increase protein synthesis in osteoblasts • But these effects less obvious

Vitamin D effects • Small intestine • Absorb Ca++ • Kidney • No effect (slight reabsorption) • Bone • Increase responsiveness to PTH • Increase osteoclast production • Parathyroid gland • Decrease PTH synthesis

Calcitonin 32 aa From C cells of thyroid gland In response to high blood Ca2+ Lowers blood Ca2+ through effects on • kidney – increase excretion Ca2+ • bone – increase Ca2+ deposit • CT receptors on osteoclasts –> detach from bone • small intestine – slight decrease resorption
Calcitonin function? Needed only occasionally? Prevent sudden increase blood Ca2+ when ingest a lot? Prevent Mom’s Ca2+ getting too high during pregnancy? Not sure
