Short-Term Inhibition of Parathyroid Hormone Secretion by a Calcium-Receptor Agonist in Patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Abstract
Surgery is the usual therapy for patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. We investigated the ability of a calcimimetic drug that inhibits parathyroid hormone secretion in vitro to decrease serum parathyroid hormone and calcium concentrations in patients with this disorder.
