The role of phosphate in the secretion of parathyroid hormone in man

TLDR
The experiments show that oral phosphorus administration initiates a calcium-mediated control system for PTH secretion and that this system operates very sensitively in man.
Abstract
In man, oral administration of 1 g of phosphorus resulted in a 60-125% increase in serum immunoassayable parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentration. Peak PTH levels were attained in 1 hr, and PTH returned to base line levels in 2 hr. This increase in PTH appeared to be initiated by a very small decrease of total and ionized calcium and was abolished by a calcium infusion. There was no correlation between serum phosphorus and PTH. The experiments show that oral phosphorus administration initiates a calcium-mediated control system for PTH secretion and that this system operates very sensitively in man.

Phosphorus restriction prevents parathyroid gland growth. High phosphorus directly stimulates PTH secretion in vitro.

TL;DR: In vivo and in vitro results demonstrate a direct action of P on PTG function that is independent of ICa and 1,25-(OH)2D3, and posttranscriptional, affecting PTH at a translational or posttranslational step.

On the pathogenesis of hyperparathyroidism in chronic experimental renal insufficiency in the dog

TL;DR: The data suggest that the control system regulating phosphate excretion contributes importantly to the pathogenesis of secondary hyperparathyroidism in advancing renal insufficiency.

Evidence for Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Idiopathic Hypercalciuria

TL;DR: A reasonable working hypothesis is that idiopathic hypercalciuria is often due to a primary renal defect of calcium handling that leads, by unknown pathways, to secondary hyperparathyroidism.

The Importance of Phosphate in Regulating Plasma 1,25-(OH)2-Vitamin D Levels in Humans: Studies in Healthy Subjects, in Calcium-Stone Formers and in Patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism*

TL;DR: It is concluded that reductions in serum PO4 concentrations, either directly or indirectly, stimulate renal synthesis of 1,25-(OH)2-D in humans.

Ionized calcium in normal serum, ultrafiltrates, and whole blood determined by ion-exchange electrodes

TL;DR: The electrode represents a major advance in calcium metabolism by indicating that calcium binding by serum proteins obeys the mass-law equation for a monoligand association and by a close correspondence of observed serum [Ca(++)] values with those predicted by the McLean-Hastings nomogram.

Immunochemical heterogeneity of parathyroid hormone in plasma.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that parathyroid hormone in human plasma is imbalanced and the apparent disappearance of par Kathyroid hormone was more rapid when measured in antiserum C329 than in antisersum 273 and in both antisera was slower in patients with renal insufficiency than in patientsWith 1° hyperparathyroidism.

Parathyroid Hormone in Plasma in Adenomatous Hyperparathyroidism, Uremia, and Bronchogenic Carcinoma

TL;DR: The concentration of parathyroid hormone (measured by radioimmunoassay) in plasma of patients with severe chronic uremia is frequently much higher than it is in the majority of cases having adenomatous hyperparathyroidism.

Regulation of parathyroid hormone secretion: proportional control by calcium, lack of effect of phosphate

TL;DR: Analyses for parathyroid hormone and calcium in peripheral plasma showed a simple linear inverse function of hormone concentration vs. plasma calcium, which led to the conclusion that calcium regulates hormonal secretion predominantly through a proportional control mechanism.
