Neonatal Mineral Metabolism

  • Chapter
Principles of Perinatal-Neonatal Metabolism

Abstract

The rapid advance of diagnostic and therapeutic technology has led to a shift in the emphasis of research in perinatal mineral metabolism. Whereas the initial focus of investigation was aimed at the gross composition of the fetus and neonate, more recently the focus has shifted to physiological control and presently to subcellular control.1,2 Although the understanding is far from complete, there is a greater appreciation of the complex interrelations among the major mineral components of bone (calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium) and their recognized major hormonal regulators (parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, and calcitonin). The purpose of this chapter is to review the physiological basis of bone mineral metabolism in continuity from fetus to neonate. Each section begins with an overview of basic physiology, followed by a section on the impact of pregnancy including placental-fetal physiology, and ends with the dynamic period of the neonate.
