Abstract excerpt

Mineral ion homeostasis in mammalian species is maintained by a complex mechanism comprising sensors of the extracellular calcium concentration (Ca2+0) (i.e. parathyroid cells) as well as effectors that modify their translocation of mineral ions into and out of the extracellular fluid (e.g. kidne...
