Changes in Parathyroid Hormone and Calcium Levels after Superior Cervical Ganglionectomy of Rats

23-26 h after SCGx there is a significant impairment of homeostatic iPTH responses to low Ca levels which can be overcome by suitable Ca stimulus; (3) circulating catecholamines may affect denervated parathyroid cells, as revealed by the changes in serum iPTH and Ca elicited by alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor-blocker treatment of SCGx rats.
