Circadian rhythms of blood minerals in humans

Circadian rhythms of blood minerals in humans

M Markowitz et al. Science. .

Abstract

Circadian rhythms of ionized calcium and phosphate concentrations have been demonstrated in human blood. A computer-derived model curve representing the 24-hour fluctuations in ionized calcium cannot be correlated consistently with curves for total calcium or phosphate. Knowledge of these circadian rhythms provides a physiological basis for further understanding the interactions between blood minerals and calcium-regulating hormones.
