The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between total serum calcium and 1) fasting serum glucose, 2) insulin, 3) insulin resistance, and 4) \u03b2-cell function in 1,182 healthy subjects from the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. All variables were log10 transformed, and confounding factors including age, trunk fat percentage, serum phosphorus, magnesium, 25-OH vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone were adjusted before analyses. Significant positive correlations between glucose and insulin resistance with calcium were found in both sexes, whereas an inverse correlation between \u03b2-cell function and calcium was found only in women. Similar results were found in medication-free women and men, as well as in pre- and postmenopausal women. Subjects with low calcium levels had the lowest concentration of glucose and the least insulin resistance, whereas subjects with high calcium levels had the highest concentration of glucose and insulin resistance in women but not in men. This relationship remained after calcium was adjusted for 25-OH vitamin D and parathyroid hormone. Our results suggest that alteration of serum calcium homeostasis is significantly correlated with the abnormality of glucose level, insulin resistance, and \u03b2-cell function.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2337\/diabetes.54.11.3336","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,6]],"date-time":"2007-03-06T19:04:22Z","timestamp":1173207862000},"page":"3336-3339","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2337\/ada-journal-policies","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":131,"title":["Altered Calcium Homeostasis Is Correlated With Abnormalities of Fasting Serum Glucose, Insulin Resistance, and \u03b2-Cell Function in the Newfoundland Population"],"prefix":"10.2337","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Guang","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Discipline of Genetics, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John\u2019s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sudesh","family":"Vasdev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Discipline of Medicine, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John\u2019s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Glynn R.","family":"Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Discipline of Genetics, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John\u2019s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Veeresh","family":"Gadag","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Community Health, Faculty of Medicine, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John\u2019s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongwei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Discipline of Genetics, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John\u2019s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1167","reference":[{"key":"2022031217184282500_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Wild S, Roglic G, Green A, Sicree R, King H: Global prevalence of diabetes.
