Abstract

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) was given intravenously to anesthesized adult dogs. Blood flows were measured with electromagnetic probes in different vascular areas concomitant with analysis of glycerol, free fatty acid, calcium, glucose, sodium, potassium, albumin, carbon-dioxid and creatinine.

PTH consistently caused an immediate increment in blood flow in the celiac vasculature and a following, less pronounced increase in the renal artery. These changes were effectuated by a vasodilatation. The degree and duration of the flow increments were dose dependent. The celiac artery was more sensitive to the effect of PTH than the renal artery. In celiac artery maximal increase above basal flow was 58 ± 27% (Mean ± S.D.), in renal artery 25 ± 12%.

A significant lipolytic action of PTH was consistently notable within minutes after the administration of PTH. The other parameters analysed in blood remained unchanged sixty to ninety minutes after the PTH injections. Then a hypercalcemic effect of PTH appeared. A lipolytic action of PTH could be demonstrated with PTH doses which did not induce hypercalcemia.
