PTHにも上位ホルモンが存在するのではないかとの疑問から,副甲状腺機能亢進症例にACTHを投与すると,血清Ca値は上昇した.この現象を理由づけすることは,現段階では困難であるが,副甲状腺の内分泌代謝に,新しい概念を与えるものと思われたParathyroid hormone is mainly regulated by the serum calcium concentration and not by another hormone which is usually the case for other hormones. We examined whether the parathyroid hormone could also be regulated by a hormone such as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Experiment I: A two-hour urine sample was collected from 6 AM to 8 AM. At 8 AM one mg of synthetic ACTH was injected intramuscularly. Blood and urine was collected two hours after the injection for determination of the concentration of serum calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone and cortisol. Experiment II: Adenoma tissue was obtained during operation from patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. The adenoma was digested with trypsin. Eagle MEM containing 100 ml fetal calf serum per 500 ml medium was used as the culture medium. The specimens were incubated in an atmosphere of 95% air and 5% CO2. Several days later, 25 micrograms of ACTH was added to the medium which was then incubated for 2 hours. The parathyroid hormone in the medium was measured by radioimmunoassay. Experiment III:ACTH was injected intraperitoneally into control male rats and parathyroidectomized rats. Two hours later, serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels were measured. After ACTH injection, a remarkable increase in serum calcium level was seen in the patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, but in the other groups, no increase in the serum calcium was observed. Parathyroid hormone was increased after ACTH injection in most subjects in all groups. Serum cortisol levels increased markedly after ACTH injection in all groups. The parathyroid concentration in the culture medium was slightly increased after ACTH addition.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
