An important aspect, or component, of calcium metabolism is plasma calcium homeostasis, which describes the mechanisms whereby the concentration of calcium ions in the blood plasma is kept within very narrow limits. Derangements of this mechanism lead to hypercalcemia or hypocalcemia, both of which can have important consequences for health.
One of the minerals that is important in the regulation and processes of many body functions including bone formation, hormone release, muscle contraction, and nerve and brain function is calcium. If levels of calcium in the body are elevated above what is considered normal, this is referred to as hypercalcemia.he regulation of calcium is primarily controlled by vitamin D, calcitonin, and parathyroid hormone (PTH). 1  Calcitonin is produced in specialized cells in thethyroid gland. 2  Vitamin D is obtained through a process that begins with sun exposure to the skin.
