Influence of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Induced by Low Dietary Calcium, Vitamin D Deficiency, and Renal Failure on Circulating Rat PTH Molecular Forms
Figure 4
HPLC profiles of circulating rPTH molecular forms analyzed in Whole (–), Total (- - - -), and Carboxyl-rPTH (-.-.-.-) assays in rats on a normal calcium diet (a), a low-calcium diet (b), a vitamin D-deficient diet (c), or with moderate (d) or severe (e) renal failure. A single HPLC profile obtained with a pool of serum from all rats in a given group is illustrated.
