The actions of extracellular Ca 2+ in regulating parathyroid gland and kidney functions are
mediated by the extracellular calcium receptor (CaR), a G protein-coupled receptor. The …

Parabens are classified as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) capable of interfering
with the normal functioning of the thyroid, affecting the proper regulation of the biosynthesis …

Human calcitonin release is promoted by elevated extracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+ o)
concentration acting, at least in part, via the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR). The CaSR is …

Introduction: The thyroid parafollicular hormone calcitonin (CT) shows particularly high
blood levels in early childhood, a period of high bone turnover, which decrease with …

Background Calcitonin (CT) is a polypeptide hormone secreted from C‐cells of the thyroid
gland in response to hypercalcemia. The physiological contribution of CT to calcium …

Research into metabolic bone disease has made remarkable progress over the last 20
years, with the identification of numerous new molecules and pathways regulating bone …

Parabens are classified as endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), capable of interfering
with the normal functioning of the thyroid, affecting the proper regulation of the biosynthesis …

The structure and function of C cells of middle-aged female rats (14-months old) treated with
estradiol dipropionate (EDP), calcium (Ca) or a combination of EDP+ Ca were studied. A …

In addition to Ca2+ and K+ fluxes, angiotensin II (Ang II) has been shown to influence sperm
motility. The present study investigated the involvement of angiotensin II type 1 receptor …

The conflicting results of previous evaluations of the influence of hypercalcemia on thyroid C-
cells and the absence of reports on its influence on calcitonin (CT)-producing cells of the …
