Calcium (Ca) is critical for a multitude of biological processes in the human body. Ca concentration is therefore tightly controlled in all age groups between 2.2-2.7 mmol/l. When Ca intake is low, extracellular fluid Ca can potentially decrease. The parathyroid cell is exquisitely sensitive to minor alterations in Ca level and a rise in PTH normalises the reduced serum Ca concentration because of its action on (1) the intestine, by increasing Ca absorption, indirectly by its ...
