This information is used to determine the density of the air entering the combustion chamber (in conjunction with the IAT (Intake Air temperature) sensor), which is used when calculating the proper air/fuel mixture for the engine, especially at WOT since the system is not in closed-loop at this time.
The TTR gene provides instructions for producing a protein called transthyretin. This protein transports vitamin A (retinol) and a hormone called thyroxine throughout the body. To transport thyroxine, four transthyretin proteins must be attached (bound) to each other to form a four-protein unit (tetramer).
Vitamin D acts also to increase blood concentrations of calcium. It is generated through the activity of parathyroid hormone within the kidney. Far and away the most important effect of vitamin D is to facilitate absorption of calcium from the small intestine.In concert with parathyroid hormone, vitamin D also enhances fluxes of calcium out of bone. Calcitonin is a hormone that functions to reduce blood calcium levels.It is secreted in response to hypercalcemia and has at least two effects: 1  Suppression of renal tubular reabsorption of calcium.n concert with parathyroid hormone, vitamin D also enhances fluxes of calcium out of bone.
