Thomas S, Need A, Nordin B
Calcif Tissue Int
. 2010 Mar;
86(5):367-74.
PMID: 20349229
We compared the effects of oral calcium and vitamin D separately and together on relevant variables in 22 postmenopausal volunteers with initial serum 25OHD levels below 60 nmol/L. Subjects were...

Nordin B, Morris H, Horowitz M, Coates P, OLoughlin P, Need A
Calcif Tissue Int
. 2009 Jun;
85(1):31-6.
PMID: 19488668
We challenge the widespread assumption that malabsorption of calcium per se causes secondary hyperparathyroidism. Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) does not rise at the menopause despite the fall in calcium absorption,...

Tai K, Need A, Horowitz M, Chapman I
Nutrition
. 2008 Jul;
24(10):950-6.
PMID: 18653316
Objective: We investigated the effects of vitamin D treatment on plasma glucose, serum insulin, and insulin sensitivity in vitamin D-deficient individuals without diabetes mellitus. Methods: Thirty-three adults with vitamin D...

Need A, OLoughlin P, Morris H, Coates P, Horowitz M, Nordin B
J Bone Miner Res
. 2008 Jul;
23(11):1859-63.
PMID: 18597633
Contrary to frequent claims, vitamin D insufficiency does not generally cause malabsorption of calcium because serum 1,25(OH)(2)D, which is the major determinant of calcium absorption, is maintained by secondary hyperparathyroidism....

Thomas S, Need A, Tucker G, Slobodian P, OLoughlin P, Nordin B
Calcif Tissue Int
. 2008 Jun;
83(2):81-4.
PMID: 18553042
This study was conducted to compare the suppressive effects of calcium carbonate and calcium citrate on bone resorption in early postmenopause. Calcium citrate is thought to be better absorbed. We...

Need A, Nordin B
Bone
. 2008 Mar;
42(6):1021-4.
PMID: 18343737
The negative effect of vitamin D insufficiency on bone is commonly attributed to a decrease in calcium absorption although little evidence has been produced to support this assumption. Using two...

Tai K, Need A, Horowitz M, Chapman I
Nutrition
. 2008 Jan;
24(3):279-85.
PMID: 18187309
This review examines available evidence of links between abnormalities of glucose and insulin metabolism and vitamin D deficiency. Possible mechanisms of action of vitamin D include stimulation of insulin secretion...

Tucker G, Metcalfe A, Pearce C, Need A, Dick I, Prince R, et al.
Bone
. 2007 Oct;
41(6):937-41.
PMID: 17942381
The relation between fracture risk and bone mineral density (BMD) is commonly expressed as a multiplicative factor which is said to represent the increase in risk for each standard deviation...

Oemardi M, Horowitz M, Wishart J, Morris H, Need A, OLoughlin P, et al.
Clin Endocrinol (Oxf)
. 2007 May;
67(1):93-100.
PMID: 17490404
Objective: To determine the effects of menopause on bone-related variables in Indonesian women and to compare them with corresponding data in Caucasian Australian women. Design: A study of bone-related variables...

Need A, Horowitz M, Morris H, Moore R, Nordin C
J Bone Miner Res
. 2007 Feb;
22(5):757-61.
PMID: 17280528
Unlabelled: Low vitamin D levels are common. Bone biopsies taken from 121 ambulant patients were therefore reviewed. Seasonal changes in mineralization correlated inversely with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D but not the...
