The calcium-sensing receptor as a regulator of cellular fate in normal and pathological conditions [PDF]
The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) belongs to the evolutionarily conserved family of plasma membrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Early studies identified an essential role for the CaSR in systemic calcium homeostasis through its ability to ...

PTHrP treatment of colon cancer cells promotes tumor associated-angiogenesis by the effect of VEGF [PDF]
We showed that Parathyroid Hormone-related Peptide (PTHrP) induces proliferation, migration, survival and chemoresistance via MAPKs and PI3K/AKT pathways in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells.

The anabolic action of intermittent parathyroid hormone on cortical bone depends partly on its ability to induce nitric oxide-mediated vasorelaxation in BALB/c mice [PDF]
There is strong evidence that vasodilatory nitric oxide (NO) donors have anabolic effects on bone in humans. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), the only osteoanabolic drug currently approved, is also a vasodilator.

A Case of Mediastinal Parathyroid Adenoma
Parathyroid adenomas are the most important cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. The diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism is established based on the combination of elevated serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels.

The significance of determining the Intraoperative level of parathormone during surgical treatment of hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
Introduction: Surgical treatment is the method of choice for treating primary hyperparathyroidism. Determining parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels intraoperatively allows for real-time monitoring of the functional activity of parathyroid gland tissue and ...

Novel Criteria for Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Parathyroid Hormone–Guided Parathyroid Surgery
Abstract Context.—Novel criteria for decrease of perioperative parathyroid hormone measurement may improve the accuracy of perioperative quick parathyroid hormone (qPTH)–guided parathyroidectomy. Objective.—To assess overall cure rate based on conventional criteria (50% decline of qPTH).

Alkaline phosphatases in the complex chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorders [PDF]
Alkaline phosphatases (APs) remove the phosphate (dephosphorylation) needed in multiple metabolic processes (from many molecules such as proteins, nucleotides, or pyrophosphate). Therefore, APs are important for bone mineralization but paradoxically they

Parathyroid hormone secretion is controlled by both ionized calcium and phosphate during exercise and recovery in men [PDF]
Context: The mechanism by which PTH is controlled during and after exercise is poorly understood due to insufficient temporal frequency of measurements.
