Relationship between serum parathyroid hormone levels, vitamin D sufficiency, and calcium intake
Article Abstract:
The relative importance of high calcium intake and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D for calcium homeostasis, as determined by serum intact parathyroid hormone is investigated. Calcium intake levels of more than 800 mg/d might be unnecessary for maintaining calcium metabolism as long as vitamin D status is ensured.
