title: Parathyroid hormone secretion in the rat:  effect of aminophylline (38536).
abstract: Administration of aminophylline to intact rats did not cause a change in serum Ca, but did cause a significant increase in serum PTH.  Administration of EDTA alone caused hypocalcemia, and a greater increase in PTH than that caused by aminophylline alone.  Aminophylline plus EDTA given togeather caused no greater hypocalcemia, but a significantly greater increase in PTH than that by EDTA alone.  Therefore, aminophylline increased PTH secretion when given alone, and also enhanced the PTH secretion stimulated by EDTA-induced hypocalcemia in vivo.
