Cryopreservation of parathyroid tissue after parathyroid surgery for renal hyperparathyroidism: does it really make sense?
Metachronous autotransplantation following parathyroid surgery in patients with rHPT effectively normalizes PTH and calcium levels. The success rate is high if an adequate cryopreservation procedure is applied. However, it is rarely necessary, and therefore the cryopreservation of parathyroid tissue in all patients has to be questioned, at least from an economic point of view.
The present results strongly suggest that the general antioxidant NAC prevents AβO-induced mitochondrial fragmentation by preventing RyR-mediated Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+) release.
