Popis: We have examined the relationship between self-reported alcohol intake (SRAI), season and mineral metabolism in a series of 96 men aged 32 to 78 years of age. Alcohol intake was reported as between 0 and 50 oz/week. SRAI correlated positively with liver function tests, including serum bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, and AST initially and at 6 months. In addition, SRAI correlated with serum calcium, testosterone, estradiol, and immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (iPTH) as well as urinary calcium [per 100 mg of creatinine (Cr)], and pyridinoline crosslinks (DPC) (per 100 mg of Cr). We have divided the participants into two groups on the basis of their reported alcohol intake. Individuals with none-to-moderate intake had
