    Abstract:
    Acute clearance studies were performed in chronically thyroparathyroidectomized dogs to determine similarities and differences between the effects of 1-34 and 1-84 parathyroid hormone (PTH) on urinary calcium excretion. In a small (physiological) dose, 1-84 PTH caused no mean change in percentage calcium excretion, while the 1-34 fragment was frankly calciuric. At this dose, the two hormone preparations were equally phosphaturic. Fragments of PTH in the range 25-84 did not alter calcium or phosphate transport. We conclude that the entire molecule is required in order for the distal nephron effect of the hormone to enhance net calcium transport in the kidney to become manifest.
