title: [New aspects of endocrine regulation of calcium metabolism].
abstract: The maintenance of circulating calcium levels within the narrow physiological range requires the action of two hormones, the polypeptide hormone parathyroid hormone and the steroid hormone 1-alpha-25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. These two hormones act on bone, kidney and intestine to regulate calcium homeostasis. Disorders of mineral metabolism are frequently associated with abnormal regulation of the metabolism of parathyroid hormone or 1-alpha-25-dihydroxyvitamin.
