Activation of the calcium sensing receptor attenuates TRPV6-dependent intestinal calcium absorption
DownloadFall 2019
Plasma calcium (Ca2+) is maintained by amending the release of parathyroid hormone and through direct effects of the Ca2+ sensing receptor (CaSR) in the renal tubule. Combined, these mechanisms alter intestinal Ca2+ absorption by modulating 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 production, bone resorption,...

Evaluation of dietary calcium level effects on the productivity, eggshell quality, and bone traits of laying hens
DownloadFall 2022
Given the significance of calcium (Ca) in the metabolism of laying hens, the purpose of this thesis was to contribute to existing knowledge regarding Ca metabolism and requirements in these highly productive birds. Phosvitin (PV), is an egg yolk phospholipid protein that increases Ca...

Exploring the Role of Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium Dynamics in Maintaining Cholesterol Homeostasis
DownloadFall 2018
Calreticulin is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein chaperone and calcium (Ca2+) binding protein and is therefore important for maintaining ER homeostasis. Calreticulin deficiency is embryonic lethal in mice due to inadequate inositol trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R)-mediated Ca2+ signaling and...
