Parathyroid Hormone and Lipid Metabolism

  • Chapter
New Actions of Parathyroid Hormone

Abstract

In addition to its well known actions on classic target organs, it has become apparent in recent years that parathyroid hormone (PTH) exerts effects in many other tissues. Thus, PTH has also well-defined effects on lipid metabolism. The hormone stimulates adipose tissue lipolysis in vitro in the experimental animal (1) as well as in the man (2–4). The administration of parathyroid extract into dogs and into human beings induces an increase in serum free fatty acids (3,5).
