    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectopic_hormone

    An ectopic hormone is a hormone produced by tumors derived from tissue that is not typically associated with its production. [ 1 ] On the other hand, the term entopic is used to refer to hormones produced by tissue in tumors that are normally engaged in the production of that hormone.

  4. Parathyroid hormone-related protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parathyroid_hormone...

    Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is a proteinaceous hormone and a member of the parathyroid hormone family secreted by mesenchymal stem cells. It is occasionally secreted by cancer cells (for example, breast cancer , certain types of lung cancer including squamous-cell lung carcinoma ).

  5. Hyperparathyroidism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperparathyroidism

    Secondary hyperparathyroidism is due to physiological (i.e. appropriate) secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by the parathyroid glands in response to hypocalcemia (low blood calcium levels). The most common causes are vitamin D deficiency [47] (caused by lack of sunlight, diet or malabsorption) and chronic kidney failure.

  6. Parathyroid gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parathyroid_gland

    The parathyroid glands do this by secreting parathyroid hormone (PTH). [11] Parathyroid hormone (also known as parathormone) is a small protein that takes part in the control of calcium and phosphate homeostasis, as well as bone physiology. Parathyroid hormone has effects antagonistic to those of calcitonin. [12] Calcium.

  7. Parathyroid chief cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parathyroid_chief_cell

    The secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) is regulated by the interaction of the calcium-sensing receptor with calcium in the blood. The calcium-sensing receptor is present on the plasma membrane of the chief cells.

  8. Endocrine system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_system

    Parathyroid gland The endocrine system can control all emotions and can control temperature. Epithelial cells of the parathyroid glands are richly supplied with blood from the inferior and superior thyroid arteries and secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH).

  9. Endocrine gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_gland

    The parathyroid glands, of which there are 4–6, are found on the back of the thyroid glands, and secrete parathyroid hormone, [2] This causes an increase in blood calcium levels by targeting bone, the intestine, and the kidneys. The parathyroid hormone is the antagonist of calcitonin. Parathyroid hormone release is triggered by falling blood ...
