Popis: Hyperparathyroidism is associated with impaired glucose tolerance, and parathyroidectomy may improve carbohydrate homeostasis. It has been suggested that parathyroid hormone (PTH) suppresses insulin secretion but it is unclear whether it also interferes with the peripheral action of insulin. To evaluate in vivo effects of PTH on insulinmediated glucose utilization, 15 male Sprague Dawley rats were continuously infused with rat PTH (1–34) using an Alzet miniosmotic pump at a rate of 0.03 nm/hour. Controls were infused with the vehicle alone. Following 5 days of PTH infusion, plasma calcium (Ca) levels were higher in the PTH-infused rats (12.3±0.2 versus 9.9±0.1 mg/dl, P
