[Calcium metabolism and mineralocorticoid-induced hypertension: effects of parathormone and exogenous thyrocalcitonin and of variations in dietary calcium and magnesium].

Physiological doses of parathyroid extract producing normal serum calcium level restore mineralocorticoid hypertension development in parathyroidectomized or thyroparathyroidectomized rats, supplemented with thyroid hormones. On the other hand, increased calcium or magnesium in dietary moderates hypertension development. Those results confirm the participation of parathyroids during mineralocorticoid hypertension.
