The research protocol must give a clear indication of what follow up will be provided to the research participants and for how long. This may include a follow u, especially for adverse events, even after data collection for the research study is completed.
The two most important hormones for maintaining calcium levels in the body are parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1,25(OH)2D (the active form of vitamin D).The major regulator is PTH, which is part of a negative feedback loop to maintain [Ca ++ ] ECF (see Humoral regulation).he two most important hormones for maintaining calcium levels in the body are parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 1,25(OH)2D (the active form of vitamin D).
An increase in blood calcium stimulates calcitonin, a hormone synthesized in the thyroid gland. This hormone lowers blood calcium by inhibiting bone resorption. Calcitonin's physiological function as a regulator of blood calcium levels is relatively minor compared to the actions of PTH and calcitriol.
