Early lethality in Hyp mice with targeted deletion of Pth gene.

Abstract excerpt

Although increased circulating levels of PTH with mild hypocalcemia has been reported in Hyp mice, hyperparathyroidism in X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets is postulated to arise from the standard use of phosphate salts, which induce chronic stimulation of PTH secretion. In this study, we sought to examine the role of PTH in the metabolic derangements associated with Hyp by generating hemizygous hypophosphatemic...
