Abstract
The concentrations of plasma parathyroid hormone-like bioactivity and parathyroid hormone-related protein (1-86) (PTHrP) immunoreactivity were both higher in fetal pigs than in their mothers during the last 3 weeks of gestation. Both activities changed inversely with alterations in the plasma ionized calcium concentration. The data suggest that PTHrP may have a role in calcium homeostasis in the fetal pig, similar to its postulated role in sheep in the stimulation of calcium transport across the placenta.Entities:
