Revista: Clin Chem. 2006; 52(4): 757-60 Autores: Boudou P; Ibrahim F; Cormier C et al. Abstract original: BACKGROUND: Third-generation parathyroid hormone (PTH) assays have been reported to measure only intact PTH(1-84), in contrast to second-generation assays, which also detect PTH(7-84) fragments. Higher […]

Título artículo: Practical considerations in PTH testing. Revista: Clin Chim Acta . 2006; 366(1-2): 81-9 Autores: Souberbielle JC; Friedlander G; Cormier C Abstract original: New knowledge concerning PTH biology have accumulated during the past few years.

Título artículo: Parathyroid hormone: past and present. Revista: J Endocrinol. 2005; 187(3): 311-25 Autor: JT Potts Abstract original: Research on parathyroid hormone (PTH) has undergone four rather distinctive phases, beginning just before the turn of the 20th century. Early debates about the function of the parathyroids were resolved by 1925, when understanding the role of […]
