Potassium stimulates parathyroid hormone release in the absence of extracellular calcium. 1983

Potassium-stimulated release of many hormones requires the presence of extracellular calcium. At variance with this mechanism, potassium-evoked parathyroid hormone (PTH) release from perifused dispersed bovine parathyroid cells also occurred in calcium-free medium containing 1 mM EGTA. Tetraethylammonium, which presumably suppresses the efflux of potassium from parathyroid cells, also stimulated PTH secretion. Removal of sodium did not suppress potassium-stimulated PTH secretion, but inhibited the release of the hormone evoked by calcium removal and by isoproterenol. Ouabain, on the other hand, suppressed the release of PTH evoked by calcium removal and by potassium, but not by isoproterenol. Unlike high potassium and removal of calcium, isoproterenol caused a parallel increase in cAMP release. In conclusion, PTH secretion is reversibly stimulated by potassium in the absence of extracellular calcium. Our findings suggest that potassium stimulates PTH secretion by a unique mechanism the nature of which remains to be elucidated.

D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.

D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
