Background. Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is characterized by the sudden loss of blood circulation to an area of the brain, typically in a vascular territory, resulting in a corresponding loss of neurologic function.troke symptoms can result from inadequate cerebral blood flow because of decreased blood pressure (and specifically, decreased cerebral perfusion pressure) or as a result of hematologic hyperviscosity from sickle cell disease or other hematologic illnesses, such as multiple myeloma and polycythemia vera.
Calcitonin. Calcitonin is a peptide hormone produced by cells within the thyroid gland. Calcitonin secretion is stimulated by high blood calcium concentrations, and it acts as a physiologic antagonist to PTH. Osteoclasts have receptors for calcitonin, but the effects are transient.rowth hormone. Growth Hormone (GH) is a growth promoting hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It is anabolic, which means it stimulates bone formation. Growth hormone also: * stimulates the production of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) by the skeleton.
3 years ago. Parathyroid hormone and calcitonin are antagonistic hormones, which are released in response to blood calcium levels. In other words, PTH acts on the same target organs as calcitonin, but produces the opposite effects.Parathyroid hormone is released from the parathyroid glands, and calcitonin is released from the thyroid gland. If blood calcium concentration is high, calcitonin is released.arathyroid hormone is released from the parathyroid glands, and calcitonin is released from the thyroid gland. If blood calcium concentration is high, calcitonin is released.
