Abstract
ABSTRACT
A pronounced circadian rhythm has been demonstrated for intact parathyroid hormone (1-84) in the serum of normal male adults. The broad nocturnal rise of parathyroid hormone (1-84) secretion appears to be of physiological significance, for it is accompanied by a significant rise in nephrogenous cyclic adenosine monophosphate. The rate of return of parathyroid hormone (1-84) to baseline concentrations varies between individuals, an observation which has implications for the optimal time of sampling for the investigation of possible mild hyperparathyroidism.
