New research reveals key to regulating essential parathyroid hormone levels.
Parathyroid hormone is crucial for maintaining calcium balance in the body. Its production and release are mainly controlled by calcium levels in the blood, along with other factors like vitamin D and neurotransmitters. Research focuses on how calcium influences the secretion and breakdown of parathyroid hormone. The study delves into the molecular mechanisms behind these processes, shedding light on how the body regulates this hormone to keep calcium levels in check.
