  • Parathyroid Hormone Targets: Understanding Bone, Kidneys & Intestines
    The three main target organs of parathyroid hormone (PTH) are:

    1. Bones: PTH stimulates osteoclasts, which break down bone tissue and release calcium into the bloodstream.

    2. Kidneys: PTH increases calcium reabsorption in the kidneys, reducing calcium loss in urine.

    3. Intestines: PTH indirectly increases calcium absorption in the intestines by promoting the production of active vitamin D in the kidneys.
