How does PTH work?
|
1) Activates osteoclasts to increase resorption of mineralized bone, resulting in mobilization of calcium and phosphorus.
2) PTH activates the proximal and distal tubular cells in the kidney to promote resorption of calcium and to inhibit resorption of phosphorus. 3) PTH stimulates the production of 1-alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in the kidney. |
