Plasma cyclic-AMP response to parathyroid hormone in Turner's syndrome and Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy.
Purified bovine parathyroid hormone (BPTH) given by injection to five patients with Turner's syndrome, and seven healthy volunteers produced a significant rise in plasma cyclic AMP reacing a maximum within 10 min. In a pseudohypoparathyroid patient there was no increase. Urinary excretion of cyclic AMP exceeded the normal in three out of four patients with Turner's syndrome. Thus, if there is a relationship between Turner's syndrome and Albright's osteodystrophy it is with the incomplete form known as pseudo-pseudohypoparathyroidism.
