In a recent series of studies, the hypotensive action of parathyroid hormone (PTH) was demonstrated in several vertebrate species. In mammals, the mechanism of this direct action on specific vascular beds was studied. An increase in intracellular cyclic AMP and an inhibition of entry of extracellula
Garter snakes, Thamnophis sirtalis, have four parathyroid glands that are similar histologically to those of other reptiles. A high percentage of the animals also possess accessory parathyroid tissue. Complete parathyroidectomy of the snakes produced severe depression of serum calcium values, tetani
