Bone metabolism
•Controlled by 3 hormone
•PTH
•Vit D
•Calcitonin
•Others: GH, estrogen, steroid, T4
•Produced by skin with UV light exposure
•7-dehydrocholesterol → cholecalciferol
•Metabolized in liver and then kidney
•→ 25 hydroxy Vit D → 1 25 hydroxy Vit D
•Action
•GI
•Absorb Ca
•Absorb PO4
•2. Bone
•Activate osteoblast matrix production
•Increased osteoclast action through RANK-RANKL
•3. Inhibit PTH
•UP Regulation of Vit D3
•Increased PTH (hydroxylation in kidney)
•Low Calcium level, low PO4 level
•Decreased Vit D3 (auto-regulation)
•Calcidiol = 25 hydroxy vit D
•Calcitriol = 1 25 hydroxy vit D
