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).
The parathyroid hormone regulates the blood levels of calcium. The hormone helps keep the calcium levels constant as it acts on kidneys, intestines and bones. Continue Reading. Maintaining a level blood calcium concentration is crucial to the function of nerves and muscle contractions. The parathyroid hormone, or PTH, is excreted from the parathyroid glands when blood calcium levels drop. The bones, intestines and kidneys are targeted during the release of PTH. The function of PTH varies, but in general, the hormone helps to stimulate reabsorption of the calcium and acts as a trigger to increase calcium absorption in the intestines. When the blood calcium levels rise, the PTH release is inhibited.
