The Parathyroid Glands00:59

The Parathyroid Glands

2.3K
The two pairs of parathyroid glands embedded within the posterior surface of the thyroid gland are restricted by a dense capsule around them. These glands comprise two distinct cell populations—parathyroid oxyphil and parathyroid principal cells- pivotal in calcium homeostasis.
Oxyphil cells, whose functions remain elusive, emerge during late puberty, adding a layer of complexity to the parathyroid gland's intricacies. In contrast, principal parathyroid cells undertake a vital role by...

Bone Disorders

3.7K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Hormones and Bone Tissue01:17

Hormones and Bone Tissue

2.8K
The endocrine system produces and secretes hormones, which interact with the skeletal system. These hormones control bone growth, maintain bone once it is formed, and remodel it.
Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

38.4K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Skeleton and Calcium Homeostasis01:21

Skeleton and Calcium Homeostasis

4.6K
Calcium is not only the most abundant mineral in bone but also the most abundant mineral in the human body. Calcium ions are needed for bone mineralization, tooth health, heart rate regulation and strength of contraction, blood coagulation, the contraction of smooth and skeletal muscle cells, and the regulation of nerve impulse conduction. The average calcium level in the blood is about 10 mg/dL. When the body cannot maintain this level, a person will experience hypo or hypercalcemia.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Genetics
  • Bone Biology

Background:

  • Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a genetic disorder stemming from the GNAS locus, leading to parathyroid hormone resistance.
  • PHP presents with hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and elevated parathyroid hormone levels, affecting various target tissues.
  • The bone status in PHP patients is inconsistently reported, necessitating a comprehensive review.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To consolidate current research on bone phenotypes in Pseudohypoparathyroidism.
  • To explore the underlying mechanisms contributing to bone abnormalities in PHP.
  • To provide an updated overview of the bone status in PHP patients.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on bone phenotypes in Pseudohypoparathyroidism.
  • Analysis of bone turnover markers and bone mineral density in PHP patients.
  • Examination of GNAS locus mutations and epigenetic changes related to bone status.

Main Results:

  • PHP patients display diverse bone phenotypes and elevated bone turnover markers.
  • Bone mineral density varies, with some PHP types showing higher or lower bone mass compared to controls.
  • Bone tissues exhibit partial parathyroid hormone sensitivity, with regional differences and therapeutic responsiveness.

Conclusions:

  • Pseudohypoparathyroidism is associated with heterogeneous bone phenotypes and variable parathyroid hormone sensitivity.
  • Active vitamin D and calcium supplementation show promise in managing abnormal bone metabolism in PHP.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the complex bone manifestations in PHP.
