description | Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a polypeptidic hormone that elevates calcium level by dissolving the salts in bone and preventing their renal excretion. It stimulates [1-14C]-2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) transport and glycogen synthesis in osteoblastic cells []. Defects in PTH are a cause of familial isolated hypoparathyroidism []. |
