Parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and vitamin D metabolites during normal fracture healing in humans

The metabolism of calcium is regulated by hormones: parathyroid hormone,(PTH) calcitonin
(CT), and vitamin D metabolities. To study the physiologic role of these hormones during the
process of fracture healing in humans, the blood levels of PTH, CT, 25-(OH)-D3, 24, 25-(OH)
2-D3, and calcium were determined in 13 young patients with fractures of long bones. The
parameters were measured first on admission and again after six to eight weeks. A group of
healthy volunteers of similar age and sex served as control subjects. Plasma calcium level …
