Effect of eplerenone on parathyroid hormone levels in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial [PDF]
BMC Endocrine Disorders, 2012 Background Increasing evidence suggests the bidirectional interplay between parathyroid hormone and aldosterone as an important mechanism behind the increased risk of cardiovascular damage and bone disease observed in primary hyperparathyroidism.

Pseudohypoparathyroidism versus signaling disorder: A case report
SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2023 Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a terminology used to describe a group of metabolic disorders characterized by parathyroid hormone resistance. Patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism have hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and elevated serum parathyroid hormone.

Pleiotropy as the Mechanism for Evolving Novelty: Same Signal, Different Result. [PDF]
, 2015 In contrast to the probabilistic way of thinking about pleiotropy as the random expression of a single gene that generates two or more distinct phenotypic traits, it is actually a deterministic consequence of the evolution of complex physiology from the ...

25-Hydroxyvitamin D and Parathyroid Hormone Levels Are Independently Associated with the Hemoglobin A1c Level of Korean Type 2 Diabetic Patients: The Dong-Gu Study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In type 2 diabetic patients, the relationships between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone levels, and glycemic control, remain unclear. We evaluated associations between 25-hydroxyvitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and hemoglobin A1c levels after ...

Effect Modifying Role of Serum Calcium on Mortality-Predictability of PTH and Alkaline Phosphatase in Hemodialysis Patients: An Investigation Using Data from the Taiwan Renal Registry Data System from 2005 to 2012. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Predicting mortality in dialysis patients based on low intact parathyroid hormone levels is difficult, because aluminum intoxication, malnutrition, older age, race, diabetes, or peritoneal dialysis may influence these levels. We investigated the clinical
