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.
Calcitonin is released by the thyroid gland if the amount of calcium in the bloodstream is high. Calcitonin decreases the amount of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. It does this by slowing the activity of cells found in bone, called osteoclasts.These cells cause calcium to be released as they 'clean' bone.wo parathyroid glands lie behind each 'wing' of the thyroid gland. The parathyroid glands release a hormone called parathyroid hormone. This hormone helps to control the levels of three minerals in the body: calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
