Abstract
Phosphate and phosphorus are generally used interchangeably. Phosphate, although not as abundant as Ca2+, is an important constituent of the body. It plays a significant role in mitochondrial respiration and oxidative phosphorylation. Phosphate constitutes approximately 1% of the body weight. A 70 kg man contains about 700 g of phosphate. Of this amount, 85% is present in the bones and teeth, 14% in soft tissues, and the remaining 1% in the extracellular fluid.
