  2. Tetracalcium phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetracalcium_phosphate

    Tetracalcium phosphate is the compound Ca 4 (PO 4) 2 O, (4CaO·P 2 O 5). It is the most basic of the calcium phosphates, and has a Ca/P ratio of 2, making it the most phosphorus poor phosphate. [1] It is found as the mineral hilgenstockite, which is formed in industrial phosphate rich

  3. Puppy nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppy_nutrition

    The ratio of calcium to phosphorus greatly impacts the retention of phosphorus. A ratio of 1.3:1 will allow for good phosphorus retention, but levels above a ratio of 2:1 will decrease phosphorus retention. [13] Raising puppies on diets containing excess calcium and phosphorus will result in osteochondrosis which disturbs bone remodeling and ...

  4. Total parenteral nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenteral_nutrition

    Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is provided when the gastrointestinal tract is nonfunctional because of an interruption in its continuity (it is blocked, or has a leak – a fistula) or because its absorptive capacity is impaired. [6] It has been used for comatose patients, although enteral feeding is usually preferable, and less prone to ...

  5. Calcium phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_phosphate

    The term calcium phosphate refers to a family of materials and minerals containing calcium ions (Ca 2+) together with inorganic phosphate anions. Some so-called calcium phosphates contain oxide and hydroxide as well. Calcium phosphates are white solids of nutritional value [2] and are found in many living organisms, e.g., bone mineral and tooth ...

  6. Raw feeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_feeding

    Diet plays a significant role in promoting both good bone and good dental health through the maintenance of the calcium to phosphorus ratio. Up to 99% of a dog's calcium [4] and 85% of phosphorus are found in bones and teeth. [4] An ideal ratio of calcium:phosphorus in dogs is 1.4:1. Maintaining an optimum ratio allows for the continued tight ...

  7. Hydroxyapatite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxyapatite

    The sites occupied solely by phosphate anions in stoichiometric hydroxyapatite, are occupied by phosphate or hydrogen phosphate, HPO 2− 4, anions. [14] These calcium-deficient phases can be prepared by precipitation from a mixture of calcium nitrate and diammonium phosphate with the desired Ca/P ratio, for example, to make a sample with a Ca ...

  8. Basic metabolic panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_metabolic_panel

    A basic metabolic panel including calcium is sometimes colloquially referred to as a "CHEM-8". Calcium, as an alkaline earth metal , is also an electrolyte, but abnormalities are more commonly associated with malnutrition, osteoporosis , or malignancy , especially of the thyroid .

  9. Bioglass 45S5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioglass_45S5

    The 45S5 name signifies glass with 45% by weight of SiO 2 and 5:1 molar ratio of calcium to phosphorus. This high ratio of calcium to phosphorus promotes formation of apatite crystals; calcium and silica ions can act as crystallization nuclei. [5] Lower Ca:P ratios do not bond to bone.
