Description for Molecular Biology of the Parathyroid
Hardback. The unraveling of the biology and disease mechanisms of the parathyroid has taken great strides. This book describes studies and discoveries in the field in detail. Key topics addressed include: the study of the molecular biology of the parathyroid hormone gene; the parathyroid's connection to the calcium receptor and its effects; and more. Editor(s): Naveh-Many, Tally (Hadassah Hebrew University). Series: Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit. Num Pages: 199 pages, 66 black & white illustrations, 5 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: MFG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 15. Weight in Grams: 530.
aintaining extracellular calcium concentrations within a narrow range is critical for the survival of most vertebrates. PTH, together with vitamin D, responds to hypocalcemia to increase extracellu M lar calcium levels, by acting on bone, kidney and intestine. The recent intro duction of PTH as a major therapeutic agent in osteoporosis has directed renewed interest in this important hormone and in the physiology of the parathyroid gland. The parathyroid is unique in that low serum calcium stimulates PTH secretion. As hypocalcemia persists, there is also an increase in PTH synthesis. Chronic hypocalcemia leads to hypertrophy and hyper plasia of the ... Read more
