Ja. Stim et al., THE ROLE OF PARATHYROID-HORMONE AND VITAMIN-D IN ACID EXCRETION AND EXTRARENAL BUFFER MOBILIZATION, Mineral and electrolyte metabolism, 20(1-2), 1994, pp. 60-71
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and vitamin D are involved in the maintenanc
e of acid-base homeostasis by enhancing urinary acid excretion and mob
ilizing extrarenal buffer present in bone. Acidosis may alter hormonal
effect and metabolism. Conclusions reached from experimental and clin
ical states of hormonal deficiency and excess must take into account d
ifferences due to species and methodologies. This paper critically rev
iews the role of PTH and vitamin D on acid-base metabolism.
