Increased vertebral morphometric fracture in patients with postsurgical hypoparathyroidism despite normal bone mineral density

Increased vertebral morphometric fracture in patients with postsurgical hypoparathyroidism despite normal bone mineral density

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The mechanism behind parathyroid hormone (PTH) activation of bone remodeling is intimately dependent on the time of exposure of bone cells to hormone levels. Sustained high PTH levels trigger catabolism, while transitory elevations i...
