title: [Landmarks in the history of parathyroid research].
abstract: The history of parathyroid research begins in the middle of the 19th century with the identification of the glands, the importance of which remained for a long time unexplored. Marking points of investigations (role in calcium metabolism) are demonstrated. Special problems of hypo- and hyperparathyroidism remained of interest up to the present day.
