Current research into the treatment of osteoporosis suggests that high, pulsatile concentrations of PTH could be effective at building bone. It is hypothesized that this may occur by inducing negative feedback of endogenous PTH with a subsequent increase in both calcitonin levels and calcitonin-mediated effects. Which of the following, if true, would disprove this hypothesis?
A. A patient treated with high, pulsatile levels of PTH fails to demonstrate an increase in bone density.
B. A...
PTH & Calcitonin
