  • Title: [Abnormalities of calcium metabolism in hyperthyroidism (author's transl)].
    Author: Fontaine G, Eisinger JB, Conte-Devolx B, Codaccioni JL.
    Journal: Nouv Presse Med; ; 6(28):2499-502. PubMed ID: 917788.
    Abstract:
    With the aim of clarifying the effects of an excess of thyroid hormones on calcium and phosphate metabolism, a study was made of blood and urine calcium and phosphate levels and urinary hydroxyproline excretion in 35 hyperthyroid patients and 20 obese individuals receiving 150 microgram/day of l-tri-iodo-thyronine for a period of 8 days. There was a high degree of correlation (p less than 0.01) between values of hydroxyproline excretion and those of blood thyroid hormones in the hyperthyroid patients. There was no significant difference between the values of the parameters studied before and after the administration of l-tri-iodo-thyronine. A trial involving the simultaneous administration of thyrocalcitonin produced no significant result.
