Hamilton. Parathyroid hormone in the blood of pregnant women. (J. Clin. Investigation. New-Jork. V. 15.1936)

Abstract

The authors determined the amount of parathyroid hormone in the blood of pregnant women by injecting this blood into a rabbit and monitoring the fluctuation of the calcium mirror of its serum. The blood of non-pregnant women, as well as those of pregnant women before the 15th week, did not cause noticeable changes in serum. A large increase in the amount of calcium was obtained when the rabbit was injected with blood taken from women 24-34 weeks of gestation.
