| Abstract: | The amino sequence recognizable parathyroid hormones (PTH) in lower and non-lower magnesemic groups in randomized samples were measured by using various kinds of the well established PTH kits. The levels of carboxy terminal, mid-region and intact PTH in lower magnesemic group were more decreased than these in non-lower magnesemic group. It is likely that the shortage of magnesium in serum makes a suppression of PTH secretion. |
