In this episode of ADHDoctor, we dive deep into the fascinating world of parathyroid hormone and mineral metabolism. Join us as we explore the intricate processes behind the synthesis and regulation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and its vital roles in maintaining calcium and phosphate balance in the body. We’ll discuss how PTH interacts with vitamin D, calcitonin, and FGF-23 to influence bone, kidney, and intestinal health. Get ready to uncover the mechanisms of bone remodeling, including the roles of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes, and learn about the factors that regulate bone homeostasis. We’ll also tackle important topics like metabolic bone diseases, including osteoporosis and rickets, as well as parathyroid-related conditions such as hyper- and hypoparathyroidism. Plus, we’ll highlight key diagnostic markers and their clinical implications. Tune in for an engaging and informative discussion that will enhance your understanding of these critical processes!
