Calcimimetic Agents. Agents, Calcimimetic . Small organic molecules that act as allosteric activators of the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) in the PARATHYROID GLANDS and other tissues. They lower the threshold for CaSR activation by extracellular calcium ions and diminish PARATHYROID HORMONE (PTH) release from parathyroid cells. . 0.52
Parathyroid Diseases. Parathyroid Disorders . Disease, Parathyroid . Diseases, Parathyroid . Disorder, Parathyroid . Disorders, Parathyroid . Parathyroid Disease . Parathyroid Disorder . Pathological processes of the PARATHYROID GLANDS. They usually manifest as hypersecretion or hyposecretion of PARATHYROID HORMONE that regulates the balance of CALCIUM; PHOSPHORUS; and MAGNESIUM in the body. . 0.46
Parathyroid Hormone. PTH (1-84) . PTH(1-34) . Parathormone . Parathyrin . Parathyroid Hormone (1-34) . Parathyroid Hormone (1-84) . Parathyroid Hormone Peptide (1-34) . Hormone, Parathyroid . Parathyroid Hormones . A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates. . 0.46
Parathyroid Glands. Gland, Parathyroid . Glands, Parathyroid . Parathyroid Gland . Two pairs of small oval-shaped glands located in the front and the base of the NECK and adjacent to the two lobes of THYROID GLAND. They secrete PARATHYROID HORMONE that regulates the balance of CALCIUM; PHOSPHORUS; and MAGNESIUM in the body. . 0.44
