Calcimimetic Compound Upregulates Decreased Calcium-Sensing Receptor Expression Level in Parathyroid Glands of Rats with Chronic Renal Insufficiency
2004
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology
The reduced expression level of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is attributed to the hyposensitivity of parathyroid cells to extracellular calcium concentration [Ca 2ϩ ]o, which plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in patients and rats with chronic renal insufficiency (CRI). Calcimimetic compounds have been demonstrated to improve the decreased sensitivity of CaR to extracellular calcium concentration and to suppress both parathyroid hormone (PTH)
