钙磷代谢对动物骨骼健康影响的研究进展

骨骼构成机体结构的基本框架,骨形成和骨吸收的动态平衡关系到骨骼健康。钙和磷是动物体骨骼生长发育过程中重要的矿物质元素,机体对其吸收与调控直接影响骨代谢过程。血钙和血磷水平的变化,改变了机体相关调节激素的分泌,而这些激素可影响骨骼发育,因此,钙、磷代谢与骨骼健康紧密相关。综合国内外钙、磷代谢和骨代谢等方面的研究,从钙、磷的吸收和代谢,含量和比例以及钙磷代谢相关调节激素对骨骼发育的调控机制等方面进行综述,旨在为后续动物钙、磷代谢和骨骼之间调控的研究提供参考。     

哺乳动物妊娠期钙代谢的研究进展

哺乳动物体内的钙代谢通常包括钙平衡和钙稳态。钙平衡是指体内总钙含量保持相对恒定的状态,钙稳态则指细胞内外的钙离子浓度保持稳定。肾脏、肠道、骨骼及雌性动物乳腺是动物体钙代谢的主要器官,其中存在着许多精细而复杂的调控网络。妊娠期钙代谢紊乱会严重影响母畜及胎儿的营养健康,维持体内钙代谢稳态对围产期哺乳动物尤为重要。本文综合近年来国内外妊娠期哺乳动物钙代谢相关研究,从不同组织器官钙代谢情况及钙代谢过程中重要的调节因子的调控作用进行综述,旨在为妊娠期哺乳动物钙代谢调控相关研究提供思路。     

Update: Management of calcium oxalate uroliths in dogs and cats.

Calcium oxalate has become the most common mineral occurring in canine and feline uroliths. Although calcium oxalate urolith formation may be a consequence of metabolic disease, the underlying cause is not identified in many dogs and cats. Currently, there is no successful medical dissolution protocol, and calcium oxalate uroliths must be removed physically if causing problems. Effective preventative protocols are available for dogs and cats, although they are not uniformly successful.     

Effects of excess calcium as a different form on mineral metabolism in rats

Excess calcium is known to affect the metabolism of other minerals. Calcium carbonate is the main source of calcium used in previous experiments that investigated excess calcium. Thus, it remains to be clarified whether other forms of calcium also have the same adverse effects. The effects of a high‐calcium carbonate diet or a high‐calcium citrate diet on mineral concentration in several tissues of rats were examined. Male rats aged 5 weeks were fed one of the experimental diets for 4 weeks. The control diet contained calcium as calcium carbonate at the requirement level. High‐calcium diets contained calcium carbonate or calcium citrate at a level of fivefold greater than the requirement level. In rats fed the high‐calcium diets, a similar decrease in phosphorus (in the plasma) and iron (in the testis, liver and femur) was observed. Hepatic copper increased in rats fed the high‐calcium diets, whereas renal copper decreased. Therefore, excess calcium affects these mineral metabolisms regardless of its form. In contrast, the high‐calcium carbonate diet increased femoral zinc and decreased femoral magnesium, but the high‐calcium citrate diet did not affect these minerals in the femur, which suggests that the effect of excess calcium on minerals partly depends on its form.     

Calcium metabolism in birds.

Calcium is one of the most important plasma constituents in mammals and birds. It provides structural strength and support (bones and eggshell) and plays vital roles in many of the biochemical reactions in the body. The control of calcium metabolism in birds is highly efficient and closely regulated in a number of tissues, primarily parathyroid gland, intestine, kidney, and bone. The hormones with the greatest involvement in calcium regulation in birds are parathyroid hormone, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (calcitriol), and estrogen, with calcitonin playing a minor and uncertain role. The special characteristics of calcium metabolism in birds, mainly associated with egg production, are discussed, along with common clinical disorders secondary to derangements in calcium homeostasis.     

Prevalence of calcium oxalate uroliths in miniature schnauzers.

Epidemiologic data were evaluated from all dogs admitted to the University of Minnesota, Veterinary Teaching Hospital (UMVTH) between June 1981 and November 1989. Of 69,890 admissions, 2,077 were Miniature Schnauzers. Uroliths were retrieved from 63 of the 2,077 Miniature Schnauzers admitted. In 20 of the 63 urolith episodes, calcium oxalate was the predominant mineral identified. By comparison, calcium oxalate uroliths were identified in only 56 of the remaining 67,813 non-Miniature Schnauzer canine admissions. The odds that uroliths from Miniature Schnauzers were composed of calcium oxalate was 11.8 times greater than for other canine breeds evaluated at the UMVTH (95% confidence interval = 6.8 to 20.1). Data also were evaluated from files of uroliths retrieved from dogs and submitted to the Minnesota Urolith Center for quantitative mineral analysis, between June 1981 and November 1989. Of 3,930 uroliths analyzed, 615 (15.6%) uroliths were obtained from Miniature Schnauzers. of the 615 uroliths, 175 (28.4%) were calcium oxalate. By comparison, only 550 (16.6%) of the remaining 3,315 from dogs of breeds other than Miniature Schnauzers were calcium oxalate. The odds that uroliths submitted for analysis were composed of calcium oxalate was 2 times greater for Miniature Schnauzers than for dogs of other breeds (95% confidence interval = 1.6 to 2.4). Calcium oxalate uroliths were retrieved more frequently in males than females. The risk for males developing calcium oxalate uroliths was greater than 3 times the risk for females in both groups of data evaluated. The mean age of all Miniature Schnauzers admitted to the UMVTH with calcium oxalate uroliths was 9 years. Calcium oxalate uroliths were not detected in Miniature Schnauzers younger than 1.7 years.     

ORIGINAL ARTICLE: Fish bones – a highly available calcium source for growing pigs

In general, there is a lack of scientific documentation of nutritional value of marine by‐products. The bone fraction from fish has been regarded as waste. Due to the high mineral content of fish bones, this material can be well suitable as a natural calcium source. In the present study, apparent calcium absorption of different fish bone sources was tested using growing pigs. The experimental diets consisted of boiled salmon frames, or salmon, saithe or cod bones treated with enzymes. Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) was used as control. The experimental diets were formulated to contain 0.7% total calcium of which the added calcium source to be tested contributed about 71% (study 1) and 86% (study 2). Except for the calcium and phosphorus sources, the animals received similar basal diets. Apparent calcium digestibility coefficient was calculated using yttrium as indicator (both studies) and was based on complete collection of faeces and urine (study 2). The experimental design was parallel and cross‐over in study 1 and study 2, respectively. In study 1, piglets getting salmon bone treated with enzymes had significantly higher calcium absorption than piglets getting boiled fish bone or calcium carbonate. Therefore, in the second study only enzymatically treated fish bones were included. The higher calcium absorption from enzymatically treated salmon bone was also found in study 2, but this time not significant. Calcium from boiled salmon bones in study I, and from enzymatically treated saithe and cod bones in study II were absorbed as well as the calcium carbonate control. The results indicate that fish bones may be a useful and well absorbed calcium source. Due to the high mineral content of the bone fraction, salmon bones can be well suitable as a natural calcium and phosphorus source in, for example, food, feed or as supplement.

A Preliminary Investigation Into the Mineral Intake of Horses in the UK

The diet of the domesticated horse is influenced by both internal and external variables, such as age, breed, discipline, and workload, as well as the feed brand preference of the owner. With a range of products and feeds available to the horse owner, this has the potential to lead to inappropriate feeding management. The aim of this study was to evaluate the current mineral intakes of horses in the UK. An online questionnaire was used to collect data on horse and owner demographics and feed rations. Total daily intakes of phosphorus, calcium, sodium, and potassium were calculated based on forage, concentrate, and supplement information given in the questionnaire. Estimated mineral intakes were compared to recommended levels using a Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Intakes of phosphorus, calcium, sodium, and potassium were found to be significantly (P < .001) higher than NRC recommendations, with most estimated mineral intakes originating from the forage component of the diet. However, the calcium to phosphorus ratio was calculated at 2.07:1, which is close to the recommended ratio limits. Excess intakes of calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and potassium have the potential to influence the metabolism of additional macro and micro minerals and, therefore, further research into this area is recommended.     

铅对骨骼毒性的作用机制研究进展

铅（plumbum,Pb）在自然界中广泛分布,铅及其多数化合物是一种不可降解的环境污染物,可通过废水、废气、废渣大量流入环境,产生环境污染及健康危害。随着都市化、现代化进程的加快,铅已经成为生活中最常见的化学污染物。近年来,铅与骨骼方面的疾病越来越受到人们的关注,铅对骨骼损伤机理的相关研究也不断深入。资料表明,铅对骨骼的毒性可能是通过损伤内分泌器官而间接影响激素合成干扰钙磷代谢和影响骨矿物代谢,阻碍骨骼发育或通过毒化细胞和影响钙信使系统活性部位中的钙而直接干扰骨细胞的功能。文章就铅对钙磷代谢、碱性磷酸酶和骨钙素及成骨细胞凋亡相关基因表达的影响进行了综述,为生产实践和研究提供参考资料。     

钙缺乏对蛋鸭血清骨代谢指标的影响

为了观察钙缺乏对蛋鸭骨代谢的影响,探讨钙缺乏性骨病发生的机理,将120只600日龄产蛋山麻鸭随机分为正常日粮组、1/2石粉组和1/4石粉组,连续饲养12周。结果发现钙缺乏可导致蛋鸭血清骨钙素水平下降,骨碱性磷酸酶(BALP)水平升高,Ⅰ型羧基端末肽(CTX-Ⅰ)水平升高。认为钙缺乏通过影响相关骨代谢因子分泌,使骨形态结构发生异常改变,最终导致骨骼矿化障碍。     

Skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic calcium regulation and sudden death syndrome in chickens

1. Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) is a disease of well‐developed, predominandy male broiler chickens where death appears to occur because of cardiovascular failure. The role of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic calcium regulation as a potential cause of SDS has been investigated.

2. Calcium regulation of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum was compared between broiler and Leghorn chickens. Calcium regulation matured from the 2nd to the 11 th week and, at any age, broiler chickens showed significandy lower calcium transport rates and transport efficiencies. The mechanism of calcium transport in broiler chickens was more energy‐consuming than that of the Leghorn chickens.

3. Sarcoplasmic calcium regulation is pivotal for muscle metabolism. As in porcine malignant hyperthermia, weaker calcium regulation might lead to hyperactivation of skeletal muscle, followed by elevated lactic acid concentrations and cardiovascular failure.     

Influence of lysocellin and monensin on mineral metabolism of steers fed forage-based diets

Studies were conducted to determine the effects of lysocellin and monensin on mineral metabolism of steers fed forage-based diets. In each study treatments consisted of 1) control, 2) 100 mg lysocellin/d, 3) 200 mg lysocellin/d and 4) 200 mg monensin/d. Twenty-four growing Hereford steers were used in each of two experiments to evaluate the effects of ionophore feeding on plasma and ruminal soluble mineral concentrations. Steers were fed individually greenchop (tall fescue and bermudagrass) ad libitum and .91 kg/d of a corn-trace mineral salt-ionophore supplement. Plasma and ruminal fluid samples were obtained on d 28 and 84 in both studies. Ruminal concentrations of soluble phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) were higher (P less than .05), whereas soluble manganese (Mn) was lower (P less than .01), in steers fed lysocellin than in controls. Steers fed lysocellin had higher (P less than .05) plasma magnesium (Mg) concentrations than control steers. Plasma and ruminal soluble mineral concentrations generally were similar for the monensin and 200 mg lysocellin treatments. Two additional studies were conducted to determine the effects of lysocellin and monensin on macromineral apparent absorption and retention in steers fed tall fescue greenchop. Steers were adjusted to their diets for 28 d and then placed in metabolism crates for a 6-d acclimation followed by a 5-d collection of urine and feces. Percent apparent absorption of calcium (Ca), potassium (K), Mg and P was higher (P less than .05), whereas sodium (Na) absorption was lower (P less than .05), in steers fed lysocellin than in controls. Mineral absorption was similar in steers fed 200 mg lysocellin or monensin. Calcium (P less than .05) and K (P less than .10) retention (percent of intake) was increased by ionophore feeding. Results indicate that lysocellin and monensin alter apparent absorption and retention of certain minerals in steers fed forage-based diets.     

低钙胁迫对胎猪脂质代谢的影响

猪群的钙磷代谢紊乱是影响猪场经济效益的长久问题之一。妊娠母猪缺钙易致猪群的生产性能下降,其仔猪出生后的育肥效果又相对较差,进一步造成生产利润的丢失。本文就妊娠母猪发生钙流失对胎猪脂质代谢方面的影响进行了深入地研究。试验将20头健康的7～8胎龄母猪随机分为对照组（control,CON）和低钙组（low-calcium,LCa）,每组10头作生物学重复。按不同钙磷比配置日粮,于母猪妊娠第85天连续饲喂至第114天分娩。仔猪出生后立即采集其血液和肝肾组织样本。运用代谢组学技术分析仔猪代谢通路的变化;生化仪检测血清中的脂类物质;ELISA方法检测脂质代谢指标;荧光定量检测脂质代谢相关基因的表达。结果表明：低钙胁迫主要影响了胎猪的甘油磷脂代谢通路,同时对脂肪酸代谢及棕榈酸的合成等也造成了一定的干扰;仔猪血清中脂类物质的含量无明显变化（P>0.05）;低钙胁迫显著影响了胎猪体内FAS、Visfatin以及Resistin的分泌（P<0.05）;低钙组仔猪肝中SCD、LDLR,肾中SCD、FABP4、HSD17B12以及ABCC4基因的mRNA表达量显著降低（P<0.05）。以上结果提示,妊娠母猪缺钙可致使胎猪脂质代谢受影响,可能会不利于其生长发育。     

Effects of calcium soaps of long-chain fatty acids on feedlot performance, carcass characteristics and ruminal metabolism of steers

Two trials were conducted to determine the effects of calcium soaps of long-chain fatty acids (calcium soap) on feedlot performance, diet digestibility, carcass characteristics and ruminal metabolism of steers fed diets (85% concentrate:15% corn silage) containing 0, 2, 4 or 6% calcium soap. In Trial 1, increasing calcium soap decreased (P less than .05) DM, CP and gross energy intake but increased total fatty acid intake. Feed to gain ratio tended to improve with increased calcium soap; gross energy conversion was not affected (P greater than .05) by diet. Average daily gain and hot carcass weight decreased (P less than .05) with addition of calcium soap; other carcass characteristics were not affected (P greater than .05). Apparent digestibilities of DM, N, energy and ash were not affected (P greater than .05) by calcium soap. Neutral detergent fiber digestibility increased linearly (P less than .08) with increasing calcium soap, whereas digestibility of total fatty acids was affected quadratically (P less than .05); fatty acid digestibility was similar among 0, 2 and 4% calcium soap diets but decreased for the 6% calcium soap diet. In Trial 2, increased calcium soap did not affect (P greater than .05) ruminal VFA concentrations, pH or in sacco NDF disappearance of orchardgrass following 12, 24 and 48 h of incubation. Calcium soap increased (P less than .07) ruminal concentrations of calcium soap fatty acids at 1, 2, 4 and 8 h postfeeding. Calcium soap did not improve performance of feedlot cattle fed high-concentrate diets. Further, calcium soap did not affect ruminal fermentation and did not dissociate significantly even when ruminal pH was below 6 for extended periods of time.     

Influence of dietary mineral imbalance on the incidence of urolithiasis in Egyptian calves

The influence of certain dietary elements on the urolithiasis syndrome in cattle calves was elucidated. Calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium measurements were conducted on feed rations as well as on serum and urine samples collected from affected and normal calves. Analysis of the rations given to the animals showed phosphorus at higher levels than calcium, indicating mineral imbalance. Serum and urine of urolithic calves were characterised by high phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, urea, and creatinine levels. Physical examination of urine of affected animals showed a high degree of turbidity, a large amount of calcium carbonate, and triple phosphate as well as abundant amount of pus cells and red blood cells. The characteristic clinical symptoms of urine retention were observed. Moreover, some animals were found to urinate through an opening in front of the scrotal region.     

Factors affecting the calcium, magnesium and phosphorus content of beef cow milk.

This paper reports the calcium, magnesium and phosphorus content of milk from Shorthorn cattle during the five month calf nursing period as well as the effect of prepartum administration of a single intramuscular dose of vitamin D3 or of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 on the milk mineral constituents. The colostrum of the group which received 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was found to contain a higher percentage of calcium on the second and third day than the colostrum of control cows or those receiving D3. No differences occurred in colostrum magnesium or phosphorus contents due to prepartum treatment. Calcium, magnesium and phosphorus concentrations were all high in the first day of lactation, but declined until the third day after parturition. Milk calcium, magnesium and phosphorus content of individual cows was not uniform throughout the lactation and the variation was different for different cows.     

Metabolism of some essential minerals in ponies fed high levels of aluminum

The effect of dietary aluminum on the absorption, retention and pathways of excretion of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, iron and copper was studied in balance trials in mature ponies in a three by three latin square experiment. A basal diet consisting of one third each of oats, beet pulp and a commercial pelleted, complete horse ration and containing 336 ppm aluminum was supplemented with AlC1(3) . 6H2O. The middle and high level aluminum diets contained 1370 and 4500 ppm aluminum respectively. There was little difference in effect between the middle level aluminum and basal diets. The ponies were in negative phosphorus balance when fed the high level aluminum diet because phosphorus absorption was suppressed. Calcium absorption was unaffected by aluminum intake but the ponies were in negative calcium balance when fed the high aluminum diet due to the greater urinary excretion of calcium by the ponies. Presumably, calcium was excreted in urine because it was not utilized in the formation of bone crystal due to the lack of phosphate. Plasma calcium was elevated and plasma phosphorus was depressed when ponies were fed the high aluminum diet. Plasma hydroxyproline concentration was increased suggesting that bone turnover was increased due to aluminum effects on phosphorus and calcium metabolism. Magnesium, zinc, iron and copper metabolism were unaffected by aluminum intake.     

维生素D受体基因与骨代谢关系的研究

维生素D(VD)与骨代谢的钙磷吸收有着非常密切的关系,其体内活性形式为1,25 (OH)₂D₃。而VD受体（VDR）是介导1,25 (OH)₂D₃发挥生物效应的核内生物大分子。近年来,随着对骨病研究的深入,对VDR基因与骨代谢关系的研究越来越受到国内外学者的重视。在不同群体甚至不同个体中,VDR基因极容易表现出多态性。目前大量的研究集中在VDR基因4个单核苷酸多态性（single nucleotide polymorphism,SNP）位点FokI、BsmI、ApaI、TaqI与骨代谢之间的关系。作者分别从钙吸收、骨量、骨密度、骨质疏松、佝偻病等方面对VDR基因与骨代谢关系进行综述。
