PY - 2016 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part Two Advanced Exam AB - This parathyroid glands are the endocrine structures responsible for secreting parathyroid hormone (PTH) that play a major role in maintaining calcium physiology either directly via the enhancement of osteoclastic bone activity or indirectly by facilitating the production of the active form of vitamin D3 which exerts its effect by increasing gastrointestinal calcium absorption. Decreased secretion of PTH results in hypoparathyroidism. SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/10/11 UR - accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1135741478 ER -
