Calcium Metabolism in Newborn Infants THE INTERRELATIONSHIP OF PARATHYROID FUNCTION AND CALCIUM, MAGNESIUM, AND PHOSPHORUS METABOLISM IN NORMAL, “SICK,” AND HYPOCALCEMIC NEWBORNS

TL;DR: Serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and plasma total calcium, ionized calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus levels were determined during the first 9 days of life in 137 normal term infants, 55 "sick" infants, and 43 hypocalcemic infants to indicate thatParathyroid secretion is normally low in the early new born period and impaired parathyro function is present in most infants with neonatal hypocalcemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunocytological evidence for parathyroid hormone in human fetal parathyroid glands.
TL;DR: The data suggest that iPTH is synthetized by parathyroid glands as as early as 10 weeks of gestation and is also present in the anencephalic fetus, and the physiological significance of the early presence of PTH within the fetal par Kathyroid glands remains to be established.
