The chapter also discusses the location, tissue structure of parathyroid glands, and
important functions of PTH. PTH performs its functions in coordination with calcitonin and the …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the cellular effects of parathyroid hormone
(PTH) on the skeleton. PTH is essential for the maintenance of calcium homeostasis through …

The aim of this review is to focus on the roles of PTH in bone remodeling. PTH plays a
central role in regulating calcium-phosphate metabolism and its production increases in …

Normal mineral metabolism and skeletal development depend upon an intricate interplay of
parathyroid renal and skeletal factors. Crucial in this respect is parathyroid hormone (PTH) …

Parathyroid hormone (PTH), the active form of vitamin D, 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1, 25
(OH) 2 D], and PTH-related peptide (PTHrP), the mediator of hypercalcemia of malignancy …

This chapter addresses the normal biology and pathophysiology of parathyroid hormone
(PTH), PTH-related protein, and calcitonin, three important calcium-regulating factors that …

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) increases the release of serum calcium through osteoclasts,
which leads to bone resorption. Primary, PTH stimulates osteoblasts leading to increase …

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a key hormone responsible for regulation of calcium
homeostasis in the body. Since the main body calcium depot is bone tissue, PTH has a …

PTH, an 84-amino acid peptide hormone synthesized by the parathyroid glands, is essential
for the maintenance of calcium homeostasis. While in its traditional metabolic role, PTH …

Bone remodeling and calcium homeostasis are regulated by the concerted actions of
circulating hormones and paracrine cytokines and growth factors. This chapter shows how …
