can you explain how parathyroid hormone injections make bones stronger when too much parathyroid hormone made by the body weakens bones?

Question

What are the body functions regulated by parathyroid hormones?

Answer 1

Good question!: Parathyroid hormone (pth_ causes two main effects - a decrease in phosphorous in the blood, and an increase in calcium. If a body makes too much PTH (constant, high levels) it will leach the calcium from the bones to keep the blood levels up. Injections, however, are intermittent, lower concentrations that can stimulate bone strengthening by absorbing the calcium in the bood.

Answer 2

Hypercalcemia: Too much circulating parathryoid hormone can result in high levels of calcium which can cause abodminal pain, bone pain, kidney stones, etc. It purges the calcium from the storage site in the bones. Injectable hormone should be used under the direction of a qualified physician and is for people with low calcium not normal levels which can happen with the aging process.

Answer 3

Mouth breathing: You may breath through your mouth while you sleep, which dries out your mouth and throat. With a dry mouth, certain bacteria can proliferate which causes an odor. Try brushing your tongue as well as your teeth, and when you use mouth rinse, gargle it into the back of your throat as well.

Answer 4

Several possibilties: You may be a mouth breather and the physical drying of the back of the throat may be responsible for discomfort. Drink some water in the morning.
