DNA complementary to bovine preproparathyroid hormone mRNA was cloned and labeled by nick translation in order to measure mRNA by molecular hybridization. Bovine parathyroid cells were maintained in primary tissue culture for periods up to 96 h at 0.5 mM, 1.25 mM, and 2.5 mM calcium, which was followed by extraction of cellular RNA. Levels of mRNA showed no differences at 0.5 or 1.25 mM calcium, but at high calcium levels, there was a reversible decrease that began at 16 h to a plateau at 30% of control after 72 h. These studies suggest that the glandular capacity to synthesize hormone may be at or near maximal at normal calcium, but at high calcium, there is a decrease over time in steady state levels of mRNA.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
