[Functioning of endocrine glands controlling calcium turnover in microgravity].
Presented are literary and authors' data on functioning of the endocrine glands involved in the control of calcium turnover in microgravity. On analysis of research findings the conclusion has been made that exposure to microgravity stimulates functional activity of the parathyroid and suppresses thyroid C-cells producing the parathyroid hormone and calcitonin, respectively. Shifts in the calcium-controlling endocrine systems are considered to be adaptive and play an important role in pathogenesis of disorders in calcium turnover in microgravity.
