title: Newer aspects of parathyroid chemistry and physiology.
abstract: We have attempted to integrate in this review many recent studies on the formation, packaging and secretion of parathormone by the parathyroid gland. We have shown that substantial new insights have been gained into this complex cellular operation. Continuing investigation should clarify many of the outstanding questions regarding function of the parathyroid in their central role in calcium homeostasis.
