본 연구에서는 붕소함유 인공염수(간수)를 수산화칼슘으로 포화시켜 calcium borate를 합성하는 반응에서, 첨가하는 황산이 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 다양한 조건(반응온도, 반응시간, 가열반응 후 방랭온도)에서 calcium borate 합성을 시도하였고, 각 조건에서 황산 첨가유무에 따른 calcium borate의 회수율과 순도 변화를 알아보았다. XRD 분석을 통해 황산의 첨가유무에 상관없이 calcium borate($Ca_2B_2O_5{\cdot}H_2O$)가 생성되었음을 확인하였고, 황산을 첨가하면 부산물로 황산칼슘(($CaSO_4{\cdot}0.5H_2O$) 이 생성되었다. 황산을 첨가하지 않았을 때, 실험한 모든 반응온도와 반응시간 조건에서 calcium borate의 회수율과 순도가 황산을 첨가했을 때보다 더 높았다. 황산을 첨가하면 수산화칼슘의 용해도는 높아지지만, 부산물로 생성되는 황산칼슘이 calcium borate의 생성을 방해하여 그 회수율과 순도가 낮아진다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 붕소함유(500 mg-B/L) 인공염수(간수)에 황산을 첨가하지 않고 수산화칼슘으로 포화시켜서 $80-105^{\circ}C$에서 10분 이내로 가열하여 calcium borate를 합성하였고, 그 회수율과 순도는 각각 최대 80 %, 96 %로 매우 높았다.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship of calcium intake , serum calcium level to calcium supplementation and the effect of nutritional education in middle-aged women. The age distribution of the subjects was 49-55 years. Daily nutrient intakes and dietary sources of calcium were analyzed by convenient method and food frequency questionnaire. At the same time, fasting blood samples were collected and serum calcium and magnesium concentrations were measured before and after nutritional education. The BMD of subjects were measured by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry(DEXA). Serum calcium and magnesium concentrations were significantly(p<0.05) different between pre and post nutritional education. After nutritional education, nutrient intakes were significantly increased(p<0.05), especially calcium. This results suggested that dietary calcium intake as well as nutritional education seem to be important in preventing in middle-aged women.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of various types of calcium sources on calcium metabolism. Sprague-Dawley male rate weighing approximately 82g were divided into 6 groups and fed experimental diets containing about 0.2% calcium for 4 weeks. Perilla leaves, dried sea mustard, mulberry leaves, loach, skim milk powder, and CaCO3 were used as calcium sources for this study. Food intake of experimental groups showed no significant difference from that of control group, but food efficiency ratio were higher in group fed loach as a calcium source. Apparent calcium absorption from perilla leaves, and skim milk powder groups as good as that in CaCO group. Femur length showed no significant difference among exjerimental groups with different calcium sources. The breaking force of bone was higher in loach and dried sea mustard groups. Weight, ash weight, and calcium content of the femur were higher in the loach diet group than in the others. Thus, calcium from not only skim milk powder but also perilla leaves, dried sea mustard, mulberry leaves, and loach appears readily available and all of these can be recommended as calcium sources.

The osteoporosis is a disease characterized by lower bone mineral content, deterioration of bone tissue and a reduction in the protein and mineral matrix of the bone. The bone becomes more porous leading to increased bone fragility and risk of fracture, particularly of the hip, spine and wrist. Osteoporosis can result in disfigurement, lowered self·esteem, reduction or loss of mobility, and decreased independence. Adequate calcium intake through milk and milk products in childhood and adolescence is a decisive marker for obtaining a maximum bone mass (peak adult bone mass) and f3r the prevention of osteoporosis. Calcium is one of the most critical nutrients associated with the osteoporosis. Dietary calcium is of great significance for healthy skeletal growth and development. The bone mineral content and bone mineral density of young adults is directly related to the calcium intake through milk and dairy products. Milk and milk products are the important sources of calcium as the richness and bioavailability of this nutrient is very high as compared to other food products. If enough calcium is not supplemented through diet, calcium from the bone will be depleted to maintain the blood plasma calcium level. The article focuses on the various issues related to osteoporosis manifestation and the role of dietary calcium especially calcium derived from dairy products.

Strontium은 calcium파 같은 2가 양이온으로서 평활근에서 calcium과 치환되어 평활근을 수축시킬 수 있으며, 골격근에서도 calcium과 치환되어 이를 수축시킬 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 심근에서는 strontium이 calcium과 치환되어 심근을 수축시킬 수 있다는 보고가 있으나 그 기전에 대해서는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 이에 저자는 심근에서 strontium이 calcium과 치환되어 사용될 수 있는지를 관찰하고, 그 기전을 알아보기 위해서 다음과 같은 실험을 하였다. 체중 200 g m 내지 230 g m의 흰쥐(Sprague-Dawley)의 심장을 적출하여 Langendorff씨 심관류 장치에 현수한 후 자율 수축운동을 하는 적출심장의 좌심실 내에 balloon을 넣어 수축성, 좌심실압 및 심박동수의 변화를 측정하였다. 먼저 strontium 치환용액의 관류시 나타나는 좌심실압, 수축성 및 심박동수의 변화를 관찰하였다. 그리고 심근을 흥분시키는 norepinephrine과 억제하는 verapamil이 포함된 strontium 치환용액을 관류할 때 나타나는 수축성, 좌심실압 및 심박동수의 변화를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 저 calcium 관류용액을 관류 하였을 때 심근수축력은 현저히 억제되었으며, strontium을 첨가하여 calcium파 strontium의 농도의 합이 정상 관류용액의 calcium농도 (2.43mM)가 되게 하여 관류 하였을 때 심근 수축력은 정상 calcium농도의 관류용액을 관류했을 때의 심근 수축력에 비해 억제되지 않았다. 2. 관류용액 내의 calcium을 strontium으로 완전치환시 심정지가 유발되었으며, 이때 관류용액내에 calcium이나 strontium을 첨가 했을 때도 심근수축력은 회복되지 않았다. 3. Norepinephrine 유발 양성변력성 작용은 정상관류용액, 저calcium 관류용액 및 strontium 치환용액 모두에서 농도에 비례한 증가 양상을 보였다. Strontium 치환용액에서는 정상 관류용액에서와 차이가 없었으나, 저calcium용액에서는 고농도의 norepinephrine의 수축력 증가작용은 정상 용액에서와 차이가 없었고 저농도의 norepinephrine의 수축력 증가작용은 정상용액에서 보다 유의하게 낮았다. 4. verapamil은 calcium 용액 뿐만 아니라 strontium 치환용액에서도 심근 수축력을 현저히 감소시켰다. 이상의 실험 결과로 미루어 볼 때 strontium은 calcium과 대치되어 심근을 수축시킬 수 있으며 calcium과 같은 자격으로 norepinephrine 유발 양성 변력성작용에 참여하고 verapamil에 의해서는 calcium과 같은 양상으로 그 이동이 억제된다고 사료된다.

The pure-separation of calcium chloride-treated fibroin hydrolysates could be carried out using gel filtration chromatography. Also, the effect of its enzymatic hydrolysis was investigated in order to find out the enhancement of their functionality. The average molecular weight(Mw), solubility and free amino acid compositions of three hydrolysates samples (calcium chloride, calcium chloride-flavourzyme and calcium chloride-thermoase)were measured to compare their characteristics. The molecular weight of calcium chloride hydrolysate was about Mw 46,800 and it can be reduced to Mw 12,500 and 1,070 upon the enzymatic hydrolysis by flavourzyme and thermoase, repectively. A solubility of calcium chloride-treated samples shows about 60% while calcium chloride/enzyme-treated samples are perfectly soluble (100% solubility). The total amino acid composition of calcium chloride enzymatic hydrolysates are much higher than that of calcium chloride hydrolysate.

The depletion of intracellular calcium stores by thapsigargin treatment evoked extracellular calcium-dependent membrane currents in Xenopus laevis oocytes. These currents have been compared to those evoked by microinjection of a calcium influx factor (CIF) purified from Jurkat T lymphocytes. The membrane currents elicited by thapsigargin treatment (peak current, $163{\pm}60$ nA) or CIF injection (peak current, $897{\pm}188$ nA) were both dependent on calcium entry, based on their eradication by the removal of extracellular calcium. The currents were, in both cases, attributed primarily to well-characterized $Ca^{2+}-dependent$ $Cl^-$ currents, based on their similar reversal potentials (-24 mV vs. -28 mV) and their inhibition by niflumic acid (a $Cl^-$ channel blocker). Currents induced by either thapsigargin treatment or CIF injection exhibited an identical pattern of inhibitory sensitivity to a panel of lanthanides, suggesting that thapsigargin treatment or CIF injection evoked $Cl^-$ currents by stimulating calcium influx through pharmacologically identical calcium channels. These results indicate that CIF acts on the same calcium entry pathway activated by the depletion of calcium stores and most lanthanides are novel pharmacological tools for the study of calcium entry in Xenopus oocytes.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship of serum calcium and magnesium level to depression and anxiety symptoms in 66 perimenopausal women. Daily nutrient intakes and dietary sources of calcium were analyzed by convenient me쇙. General status was conducted by a questionnaire whereas the questionnaire of CED-S(the Center for Epidemiological studies-Depression Scale) was used for depression and Spielburger's STAI-S(state-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State) was used for anxiety. Fasting blood samples were collected, and serum calcium and magnesium concentrations were measured before and after calcium supplementation. The age distribution of the subjects was 49-55 years. Results indicated that serum calcium concentrations were significantly(P〈0.05) increased to normal ranges after calcium supplementation. Depression and anxiety scores of the subjects with calcium supplementation were significantly(p〈0.05) lower than those before calcium supplementation. There were significantly(P〈0.05) decreased between serum magnesium concentration and depression and anxiety scores, but calcium concentration was not significantly decreased. These results suggest that psychological conditions of perimenopausal women are possibly effected by serum calcium and magnesium levels. More studies are needed to measure the long-term effects of calcium supplementation on psychological conditions in perimenopausal women.

This study was designed to observe the effects of nutritional supplementation of general Korean diet on calcium metabolism and bone growth in rats. The results were summarized as follows. 1. The bone weight and the concentration of ash and calcium in femurs tended to be increased by calcium supplementation. It seemed that supplemental calcium feeding promoted bone calcification through increasing the amount of calcium retained in the body. 2. There were no differences in calcium absorption rates, retention rates in the body, urinary excretion, and serum calcium concentration, between calcium supplemented groups and the other cereal-vegetable groups. 3. The casein, vitamin B2, or vitamin A supplementation of cereal-vegetable diets did not have any significant effects on calcium metabolism and bone growth.

Calcium is an essential nutrient for living organisms, with key structural and signaling roles. Its deficiency in plants can result in poor biotic and abiotic stress tolerance as well as reduced crop quality and yield. Calcium deficiency in humans causes various diseases such as osteoporosis and rickets. Biofortification of calcium in various food crops has been suggested as an economic and environmentally advantageous method to enhance human intake of calcium. Recent efforts to increase the levels of calcium in food crops have used calcium/proton antiporters ($CAXs$) and modified one to increase calcium transport into vacuoles through genetic engineering. It has been reported that overall calcium content of transgenic plants has been increased in their edible portions with some adverse effects. In conclusion, biofortification of calcium will add more value in crops as well as will be beneficial for animal and human. Therefore, more fundamental studies on the mechanisms of calcium ion storage and transporting are essential for more effective calcium biofortification.
