      Vidal, Ángela; Ríos, Rafael; Pineda, Carmen; López, Ignacio; Raya, Ana I.; Aguilera Tejero, Escolástico; Rodríguez, Mariano (MDPI, 2020)
      The aim of this paper is to review current knowledge about how calorie intake influences mineral metabolism focussing on four aspects of major interest for the renal patient: (a) phosphate (P) handling, (b) fibroblast ...
    • Increased 1,25(OH)2-Vitamin D Concentrations after Energy Restriction Are Associated with Changes in Skeletal Muscle Phenotype 

      Vidal, Ángela; Ríos, Rafael; Pineda, Carmen; López, Ignacio; Raya, Ana I.; Aguilera Tejero, Escolástico; López Rivero, J.L. (MDPI, 2021)
      The influence of energy restriction (ER) on muscle is controversial, and the mechanisms are not well understood. To study the effect of ER on skeletal muscle phenotype and the influence of vitamin D, rats (n = 34) were fed ...
    • Oral Acid Load Down-Regulates Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 

      Vidal, Ángela; Pineda, Carmen; Raya, Ana I.; Ríos, Rafael; Espartero, Azahara; Muñoz-Castañeda, Juan R.; Rodríguez, Mariano; Aguilera Tejero, Escolástico; López, Ignacio (MDPI, 2022)
      Increased dietary acid load has a negative impact on health, particularly when renal function is compromised. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a bone-derived hormone that is elevated during renal failure. The ...
