Abstract excerpt
Homozygous klotho mutant (kl-/-) mice exhibit multiple phenotypes resembling human aging. To elucidate the molecular basis of these singular phenotypes, we focused on the mechanisms underlying increased serum concentrations of calcium and phosphorus in kl-/- mice. Serum concentrations of calcitonin and PTH of kl-/- mice were normally up- and down-regulated, respectively, in response to the high levels of calcium....
