Parathyroid hormone 1 receptors, activated by the 34 N-terminal amino acids of PTH, are present at high levels on the cells of bone and kidney. Parathyroid hormone 2 receptors are present at high levels on the cells of central nervous system, pancreas, testes, and placenta. [7] The half-life of PTH is about 4 minutes. [8]
The parathyroid glands are quite easily recognizable from the thyroid as they have densely packed cells, in contrast with the follicular structure of the thyroid. [6] Two unique types of cells are present in the parathyroid gland: Chief cells, which synthesize and release parathyroid hormone. These cells are small, and appear dark when loaded ...
Chief cells in parathyroid adenomas also display acid phosphatase activity. [5] It is a benign tumor of the gland that requires surgical removal. [13] These benign adenomas are typically affect only one or two of the parathyroid glands, known respectively as a single adenoma or double adenoma. Typically, no disease is linked to the cause. [14]

This region is extremely rich in serotonin transporters and is considered as a governor for a vast network involving areas like hypothalamus and brain stem, which influences changes in appetite and sleep; the amygdala and insula, which affect the mood and anxiety; the hippocampus, which plays an important role in memory formation; and some ...
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 ).
Can you give another hint about today's Wordle? This word is the past tense of a verb that means "to throw or hurl forcefully." OK, that's it for hints—I don't want to totally give it away ...
Parafollicular cells, also called C cells, are neuroendocrine cells in the thyroid. They are called C cells because the primary function of these cells is to secrete calcitonin. [1] They are located adjacent to the thyroid follicles and reside in the connective tissue. These cells are large and have a pale stain compared with the follicular cells.
