An Intrinsic Rhythm of Urinary Calcium Excretion and the Specific Effect of Bedrest on the Excretory Pattern

Abstract: 1.The diurnal rhythms of urinary calcium excretion were studied in healthy subjects under four different regimens in which diet, activity and posture were varied. The excretory rhythms observed were compared with those of potassium, obtained under the same conditions.2. When the subjects were active throughout the day and night and were either fasting or eating standard three-hourly meals, an intrinsic calcium rhythm was isolated with maximum amounts excreted between 06.00 and 09.00 hours.3. Continuous supine … Show more

“…Discovery of the molecular clock components provided evidence that this predictive homeostasis occurs due to the activity of the circadian clock; the clock allows the body to keep track of the time using multiple cues such as light and food intake. While laying down at night suppresses urinary sodium, potassium, and water excretion, excretion is not suppressed by laying down during the day (Ede et al, 1972). The body predicts we are going to bed at night and prevents loss of precious nutrients.…”

“…Urinary phosphate excretion might increase as a direct result of increased phosph oru s intake (either oral or parenteral ), thus exceeding the format ion product for calcium phosphate (44) . Normal 24 -h ur in ar y determinations are not totally reassuring, since there is a marked circadian rhythm to calci um excretion (50). The urin e may become supersat urated interm ittently.…”
