A Comparative Study of Calcium Metabolism in Caucasian and Asian Postmenopausal Women of Chinese Descent and the Use of Strontium as a Qualitative Marker of Calcium Metabolism in Humans
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ca-41(isotope tracer), Sr-84 (isotope tracer), and 1 other intervention for Calcium Metabolism. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study aims to: 1) quantitatively assess parameters of bone calcium balance in healthy postmenopausal Asian women of Chinese descent; 2) assess possible ethnic differences in calcium metabolism by direct comparison of acquired data in Chinese postmenopausal women with those acquired earlier in Caucasian postmenopausal women using the same methodology; 3) assess differences in calcium and strontium metabolism in parallel to evaluate if strontium stable isotopes can be used for tracing bone calcium metabolism qualitatively

Timeline
Interventions
Ca-41 is given orally in the form of (Ca-41)Cl3 in citrate-buffered solution. Tracer will be used to determine parameters of calcium metabolism based on tracer excretion data.
Sr-84 is given orally in the form of (Sr-84)Cl2 in aqueous solution.Tracer will be used to determine parameters of strontium metabolism based on tracer excretion data.
