Calcium –Physiological Roles
Excitability of nerves and muscles and regulates permeability of cell membranes. Also integrity of cell menbanes
Ca++ essential for excitation and coupling of all types of muscles
Excitation and secretion of endocrine and exocrine glands and release of neurotransmitters from erve endings
Intracellular messenger for hormones, autacoids and transmitters
Impulse generation and conduction in heart
Coagulation of Blood
Structural function of Bone and Teeth - hydroxyapatite 2
Plasma Calcium Level
Regulated by 3 hormones Parathormone, calcitonin and Calcitriol (active vit. D)
Normal plasma level = 9-11 mg/dl
40% is bound to plasma protein – albumin, 10% -citrate, carbonate and phosphate and 50% is free ionized and important form
3
Circulating Calcium Ionized calcium (free calcium)
Responsible for calcium function
Can be directly measured
Hypoalbuminemia – total Ca++ may be low but conc. of Ca++ is usually normal
Acidosis – favours ionization
Alkalosis – disfavours ionization – hyperventilation precipitates tetany and laryngospasm in Calcium deficiency
5
Pharmacokinetics Absorbed from entire small intestine including duodenum
– carrier mediated active transport under the influence of Vit.D
Phytates, phosphates, oxalates and tetracycline – reduces absorption
Glucocorticoides and Phenytoin reduces Ca absorption
Filtered through glomerulus but mostly reabsorbed
Vit. D increases and Calcitonin decreases reabsorption in proximal tuule
PTH increases distal tubular reabsorption
300 mg is excreted daily in urine and faeces
Daily requirement: 800 -1500 mg per day (1/3rd absorbed)
6
Calcium Preparations
Calcium chloride (27% Ca): freely water soluble, but irritant - tissue necrosis on IM or IV (extravasation). Orally also irritant
Calcium gluconate (9 % Ca): 0.5 gm/1 gm tabs and 10% injections – non irritant (preferred)
Calcium lactate: orally non irritant
Calcium dibasic phosphate (23% Ca): Insoluble, but with HCl form soluble salts - antacids and replacement
Calcium chloride: Insoluble and no irritant – antacids
7
Calcium - Uses1. Tetany: Severe cases Calcium gluconate 10 to 20 ml IV
over 10 minutes followed by 50 to 100 ml of Ca gluconate solution over 6 Hrs Oxygen inhalation, IV fluids then oral therapy
2. Dietary supplement: growing children, pregnant, lactating and meopausal etc. Also in men and women reduce the bone loss
3. Osteoporosis: Prevention ant treatment of osteoporosis with HRT/raloxifene/Alendronate – to ensure Ca++ deficiency does not occur Calcium and Vit. D3 used as adjuvant
4. Empirically in dermatoses, parathesia and weakness
5. Antacids
8
Vitamin D Mainly D3 (cholecalciferol) and D2 (calciferol)
Both are equally active in man
Calcitriol (active form of D3) is more important physiologically
Released from liver in blood and binds to specific vit D binding globulin

TISSUE-SPECIFIC VITAMIN D RESPONSES11
Vitamin D
The body can supply its own Vitamin D via the synthetic pathways
Alternatively, Vitamin D may be supplied by Vitamin D - enriched foods. The classic examples are milk and multiple vitamins.
12
Actions of calcitriol Enhancement of absorption of Ca and PO4 from
intestine
By increasing the synthesis of calcium channels and a carrier “calcium binding protein (CaBP)” or calbindin
Analogous to stroid hormones – binds to cytoplasmic vit D receptor (VDR)-translocation-increased synthesis of mRNA-regulation of protein synthesis
But, why quick? - Activation of VDR also promotes endocytotic capture of Calcium and transport across the duodenal mucosa
13
Calcitriol also enhances recruitment and differentiation of osteoclast precursor for remodelling – resorption of Calcium and PO4 from bone
Mature osteoclasts lack VDR, induces “receptor for acivaton of nuclear factor-kB-ligand (RAANKL)” in osteoblasts and activates osteoclasts indirectly
Laying down and mineralization of osteoids
Also enhances tubular reabsorption of Calcium

Vitamin D - Sources• Sunlight is the most
important source
• Not found naturally in many foods
• Synthesized in body
• Plants (ergosterol)– Sun-cured forages
• Fluid milk products are fortified with vitamin D
• Oily fish & Fish liver oil
• Egg yolk
• Butter
• Liver
• Difficult for vegetarians25
TOXICITY
•Hypervitaminosis Dcauses hypercalcemia, which manifest as:
• Nausea & vomiting• Excessive thirst , polyuria & anorexia • Severe itching• Joint & muscle pains• Disorientation & coma.• Calcification of soft tissue
– Lungs, heart, blood vessels ,
• Hypercalcemia– Normal is ~ 10 mg/dl– Excess blood calcium leads to stone formation in
kidneys26
Parathyroid Hormone Location : Posterior to thyroid gland , 4 in nos
Secreted by principal cells
Preproparathyroid hormone proparathyroidhormone PTH(84 AA polypeptide)
Hypocalcemia is a principal factor regulating PTH synthesis & release, mediated through activation of adenylate cyclase & subsequent increase in cAMP level
27
Rapidly metabolised in liver & kidney
T1/2 is 2-5 min
Actions Bone
Kidney
Intestine

Calcitonin
32
Calcitonin, peptide hormone secreted by thethyroid gland, tends to decrease plasma Caconcentration and, in general, has effectsopposite to those of PTH
Parafollicular cells, or C cells, lying in theinterstitial fluid between the follicles of thethyroid gland
32-amino acid peptide with a molecular weight ofabout 3400
33
The primary stimulus for calcitoninsecretion is increased plasma Ca ionconcentration
calcitonin decreases blood Ca ionconcentration rapidly, within minutesafter injection of the calcitonin
34
Inhibit bone resorption by direct action on Osteoclasts
Also inhibits the proximal tubular reabsorption of calcium and phosphate by direct action on kidney
Action is mediated through G- protein coupled calcitonin receptor & increased cAMP formation but target cells are different from that of PTH
35
Calcitonin : Preparations Porcine (Natural) calcitonin:
Antigenic
Synthetic salmon calcitonin:
More potent due to slower metabolism
Synthetic human calcitonin:
1 IU = 4 μg of std preparation
Calcitonin is given by SC/IM routes. Salmon calcitonin is also available as nasal spray
36
• Hypercalcemia states (e.g associated with neoplasia)
• Pagets disease of bone:
• Postmenopausal osteoporosis & corticosteroid induced osteoporosis:
• Salmon calcitonin is used as nasal spray along with Vit D supplements 200 IU /day
Uses
37
Bisphophonates (BPNs)
38
Introduction Non-hormonal agent in Ca++ homeostasis
Recently attracted considerable attention
Prevent osteoporosis and useful in metabolic bone diseases and hypercalcaemia
Most effective “antiresorptive” drug at present
BPNs are analogous of pyrophosphates – Carbon atom replacing “P-O-P skeleton”
BPNs have selective affinity for Calcium phosphate –so calcified tissues
39
Bisphosphonates have two side
chains:
R1 affects binding affinity to
bone;
R2 affects antiresorptive capacity
and, possibly,Side-effect profile.
Bisphosphonates vary in potency
Based on these specific side
chains.
40
Generations of Bisphosphonates With each successive generation, there has been
increased potency, with more selectivity for inhibition of resorption and less inhibition of bone formation.
First-generation bisphosphonates, such as etidronateand clodronate, inhibit bone formation and bone resorption equally.
Second-generation bisphosphonates include pamidronate and alendronate
The third generation includes the highly potent risedronate and zolendronate.
41
BPNs - MOA BPNs have selective affinity for Calcium phosphate – so calcified
tissues
2 main component of Bone – Bone matrix and Solid mineral phase (hydroxyapatite)
• Normally, The non-mineralized osteoid covers the mineralized bone matrix preventing its resorption by osteoclasts
• For resorption – osteoids must get dissolved or mineralized (solubilized) such that osteoclasts can attach to the mineralized matrix
• In resorptive pits – acidic zone is created at ruffled boarders of osteoclasts followed by resorption of matrix by acid hydrolases
• BPNs localize in the acidic zone due to high affinity for Ca++ ions
• Ca++ ions released from bone surface due to high acidity BPNs also released – internalized into osteoclasts by endocytosis
• Results in
Accelerated apoptosis of osteoclasts reducing their number
Disruption of the cytoskeleton of the ruffled boarder of osteoclasts42

71
Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis: Treatment
Only bisphosphonates have been demonstrated in large clinical trials to reduce the risk of fractures in patients being treated with glucocorticoids.
Risedronate prevents bone loss and reduces vertebral fracture risk by ~70%. Similar beneficial effects are observed in studies of alendronate.
Controlled trials of hormone therapy have shown bone-sparing effects, and calcitonin also has some protective effect in the spine.
Thiazides reduce urine calcium loss, but their role in prevention of fractures is unclear.
PTH has also been studied in a small group of women with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, where bone mass increased substantially, and teriparatide is currently being investigated in a larger multicenter trial.
