In order to clarify the complex interrelationship between serum calcium, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), and parathyroid hormone (PTH), and the urinary excretion of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in response to exogenous PTH in pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) and related diseases, we investigated 3 patients
Calcium absorption declines with age. Because 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH),D) is the major hormone controlling calcium absorption, changes in vitamin D metabolism may account for the malabsorption of aging. Serum levels of 1,25(OH),D have been reported to either decrease or remain unchanged wit
