Aldosterone and Parathyroid Hormone: Evidence for a Clinically Relevant Relationship-Juniper Publishers

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF ENDOCRINOLOGY AND THYROID RESEARCH

Introduction

A ‘new endocrine axis’, involving the bi-directional relationship between the parathyroid hormone (PTH) and the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) has been established recently. Individually these have long been recognized, although it is only in recent times that we are realizing the interplay between the two and the corresponding effects this has on the physiological and pathological roles within the body. Other calciotropic hormones such as Vitamin D are also impacting on this relationship [1]. This report aims to highlight the cyclic nature of these relationships, through the physiological pathways, which will then lead into pathological disease in multiple areas such as heart failure, cardiovascular health and bone homeostasis. It is through this it is hoped to highlight this new bi-directional relationship.   

Physiological effects of Calcitrophic Hormones on the RAAS

PTH is thought to influence aldosterone secretion in the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal glands [2]. This was demonstrated by Mazzocchi et al. [3], who found that PTH exerts a significant stimulatory action on aldosterone secretion by adrenocortical cells, through the PTH/PTH-RP receptors. PTH is also thought to directly stimulate renin release in the myoepithelial cells of the preglomerular arterioles [4]. Increased activity of the RAAS, and raised aldosterone levels, have been demonstrated in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Parathyroidectomy, and its associated reduction in PTH, has been shown to result in normalization of the RAAS system and aldosterone levels.   

Physiological Effects of RAAS on the Calciotrophic Hormones and Calcium Homoestasis

Recent observational studies in individuals with primary hyperaldosteronism suggest that excess aldosterone may result in hyperparathyroidism. A better understanding of the normal physiologic relationship between the RAAS and PTH is of clinical relevance since inappropriate activity of both PTH and the RAAS may negatively impact cardiovascular and skeletal health [5]. Hyperaldosteronism is associated with a reversible secondary hyperparathyroidism due to increased renal and faecal calcium excretion. PTH is increased as a result of the MR (mineralocorticoid receptor) mediated calciuretic and magnesiuretic effects, with a trend towards hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia and the direct effects of aldosterone on parathyroid cells via binding to the MR. Moreover, the angiotensin II receptor is expressed by human parathyroid tissue, and angiotensin may therefore directly stimulate PTH secretion [6].   

RAAS and Vitamin D

Aldosterone acts through the mineralocorticoid receptor, which belongs to the same superfamily of nuclear receptors as the vitamin D receptors (VDR). Therefore, cross talk between these receptors and their agonists could potentially exist. [7]. Vitamin D has been shown to have an inverse relationship with renin levels [8]. Tomaschitz et al. [9] demonstrated that vitamin D deficient patients had significantly higher levels of renin, angiotensin 2 and aldosterone. In a subsequent study, Vaidya et al. [10] found that higher levels of Vitamin D were associated with lower plasma renin activity under both salt conditions, supporting the hypothesis that vitamin D acts as an inhibitor of renin production.   

Bi-directional interplay between PTH and RAAS in Different Systemic Diseases

Neurohormonal activation is a hallmark of chronic heart failure (HF). Low perfusion pressure due to impaired left ventricular function results in the activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the RAAS. Stimulation of adrenal aldosterone synthesis in chronic HF occurs despite sodium and fluid retention. The hyperadrenergic state leads to translocation of cations into the intracellular compartment and the increased aldosterone secretion stimulates faecal and urinary loss of cations. The resulting hypocalcemia and hypomagnesaemia stimulate PTH secretion which tends to restore extracellular calcium and magnesium homeostasis. The PTH promotes mitochondrial Ca2+ excess in the myocardium which leads to oxidative stress and necrotic cell death which, in the long term, causes or amplifies myocardial fibrosis thus aggravating systolic and diastolic HF [11].

PTH also directly stimulates aldosterone synthesis by binding to the PTH/PTH-rP receptor, voltage-gated calcium channels, and the adrenocorticotropic hormone receptor, thus triggering a vicious cycle of mutually reinforcing aldosteronism and hyperparathyroidism. Relative aldosterone excess causes sodium retention and oxidative stress, thus increasing CV morbidity and mortality [2]. PTH also contributes to the development of arterial stiffness, arterial hypertension, and cardiac hypertrophy via binding to the PTH/PTH-rP receptor, which is expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiomyocytes. In addition, aldosterone excess exerts genomic (by binding to the MR), and non-genomic profibrotic and proinflammatory effects on blood vessels and the myocardium [12].

Aldosterone-Parathyroid Hormone Interactions in Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Early evidence for a physiological and pathophysiological bidirectional link between aldosterone and PTH in humans had initially been derived mainly from case reports. Subsequent studies documented the presence of secondary-hyperaldosteronism in patients with primary-hyperparathyroidism, subsequently a marked reduction in plasma-aldosterone, angiotensin II and renin-activity was noted after parathyroidectomy [13]. Thus, in patients with hyperparathyroidism, the concomitant hyperaldosteronism can aggravate arterial-stiffness, endothelialdysfunction, blood pressure-elevation, vascular-remodelling, cardiac hypertrophy/failure and CVD.

Several studies revealed that patients with PA have alterations in calcium and increased PTH levels [14]. Treatment of PA with either MR-antagonist or adrenalectomy was found to decrease PTH levels [15]. PTH levels were significantly higher in aldosterone-producing adenomas compared to bilateral adrenal-hyperplasia, suggesting that the severity of aldosteronism correlated with severity of hyperparathyroidism. The concomitant hyperparathyroidism could contribute to skeletal diseases and compound CV-risk (beyond the CV-risk associated with PA) [2].

Aldosterone-Parathyroid Hormone Interactions in Bone Diseases

In addition to reversible elevation in PTH levels, reversible PTH mediated bone loss as evidenced by reduction in bonemineral density (BMD), osteoporosis and vertebral fractures were reported in patients with PA. Studies have demonstrated that surgery or medical treatment of PA reduced PTH levels and increased BMD on follow up. Though, bone loss is mostly mediated by PTH, additional mechanisms have been proposed, including a direct effect of aldosterone on bone (MR-expression has been identified in osteoblasts and osteoclasts). Spironolactone has been shown to lower fracture-risk in HF and RAAS-inhibitors lower PTH in CKD.   

Primary and Secondary Hyperaldosteronism

Primary aldosteronism (PA) represents a major cause of secondary hypertension with high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Secondary hyperaldosteronism (SA) indicates a bidirectional functional link between the adrenal and parathyroid glands. PA patients have been shown to have a significant increase of primary hyperparathyroidism (PPTH) [16]. Conversely, undetected hyper-functioning of the parathyroid gland can contribute to maintaining PA [17].

Hyperaldosteronism and hyperparathyroidism represent pathophysiologic conditions that correlate with each other; aldosterone regulates parathyroid hormone causing adverse skeletal complications and PTH regulates aldosterone and associates with adverse cardiovascular complications [18]. PTH stimulates in vitro the secretion of aldosterone from human adrenocortical cells in a concentration dependent manner which suggests that PTH acts as an aldosterone secretagogue that may cause human PA [3].

High aldosterone levels are associated with high PTH levels [14,19]. Brunaud L et al [13], observed that elevated aldosterone levels, positively correlated with PTH levels in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and PTH levels >100 ng/L were an independent predictor of abnormally elevated plasma aldosterone concentration. So, primary hyperparathyroidism is associated with high aldosterone levels and primary aldosteronism is associated with high PTH levels. It is also suggested that PA contributes to secondary hyperparathyroidism [20].   

Effect of Therapeutic Interventions on the CalciCalciotrophic and Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone Systems

Role of PTH surgery on Hyperaldosteronism and CVD Risk Factors

Chronic heart failure, along with hypercalciuria, hypocalcaemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism with subsequent intracellular calcium overload is frequently found in patients with low-renin hypertension and primary aldosteronism. Interplay between the hormones regulating calcium homeostasis and the RAAS contribute to the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension. Brunaud et al. [13] reported significantly decreased aldosterone, angiotensin II, renin activity and blood pressure levels after parathyroidectomy with primary hyperparathyroidism.

Effect of RAAS Blockage and Adrenalectomy on Hyperparathyroidism and Vitamin D Levels

Drugs affecting the RAAS and surgical treatment is associated with an increase in ionised calcium and a decrease in PTH (Rossi E). Adrenalectomy or MR blockers both decrease PTH secretion, arterial blood pressure as well as bone resorption. Animal studies show strong support for vitamin D3 mediated downregulation of renin expression and RAS activity via its interaction with vitamin D receptor [21]. Appendix 1 shows the influence untreated low Vitamin D levels can have on cardiovascular health, via the RAAS and PTH pathways [22-24].   

Conclusion

As shown, increasing evidence is showing a bi-directional interplay between calciotrophic hormones, such as PTH, Vitamin D and the RAAS system. Calcitrophic hormones, particularly PTH and Vitamin D, have a cyclic nature on the RAAS system, affecting each at different receptor and cellular levels. As discussed, there are multiple pathways to consider. For example, the role of PTH’s direct stimulatory action on aldosterone, or hyperaldosteronism’s association with hyperparathyroidism. Or how Vitamin D shares the same receptor as aldosterone, and in vitamin D deficient patients the direct effect on the RAAS, through significantly higher levels of renin, angiotensin 2 and aldosterone. PTH and aldosterone both influence different pathological factors. As shown, it is this relationship between these calciotrophic hormones and the RAAS system that can adversely affect the disease states such as CVD, HF, PA & SA. It is through the recognition of this new ‘endocrine axis’ that there is a clinically relevant relationship between these hormones. From this, surgical and therapeutic interventions can be tailored with this relationship in mind, to ensure optimum treatment outcomes.

For fun, I wanted to think through which organs Darth Maul is actually missing. This gives us clues as to which bodily processes he just doesn't have anymore, which ones he's using sith juju to make up for, and what Talzin or Death Watch might've done for him with the prosthetics. To be fair, humans have about 70 to 80 possible organs systems (don't ask), but who knows what zabrak have, and where they truly are located. We can only guess.

✓ Means he probably has this.

X Means he probably doesn't have this.

O Means he probably only has some.

(Checklist and conclusions below the cut.)

✓ Adrenal glands (above the kidneys)

✓ Cerebellum

Long story short, besides just his legs and genitals, Maul lost most of his digestive and urinary systems.

He actually kept almost all of his life-critical organs, so whatever sith voodoo he was doing to stay alive on Lotho Minor was probably focused on fighting off sepsis (due to the unclean end points of his digestive system. Remember he got cauterized by a lightsaber so assume he had to make... new holes. There may have also been some self-done surgery to reconnect what remained of his large and small intestines.)

The loss of his testes, if he indeed had human typical location for them, could have proven a growing problem, considering that they make 90% of a man's testosterone, and that's needed just to have normal amounts of energy.

The digestive track is also a problem, as the gut microbiome is where a lot of neurochemicals are produced. For example, 95%~ of the body's seratonin is produced in the gut. Lacking huge chunks of his small and large intestine means that Maul had poor absorbtion of nutrients, and probably needed to eat all the time just to get a fraction of the calories and nutrients from his food.

So. He lived on the edge of starvation due to a truncated digestive track, had low energy, mood imbalances like you wouldn't believe, and constant sepsis. I'm sure the acid rain being the only source of fresh water was also just, so helpful.

I assume, by the lack of black veins on him afterward, and (sort of?) stable mood, that talzin might've regrown some of his gut and fixed the end point issues. Later on, Death Watch (being mandalorians) might've given him more robust life support systems that included testosterone replacement and cybernetic genitals. Seems like what they would do for their own people.

Possible lingering complications? I assume he has a VERY weird relationship with food. He had spider legs for twelve years, so bipedal motion probably fails him sometimes. Back pain. Phantom leg pain. Nerve junction issues. Immune system weirdness (from all that missing marrow, and a long stint with sepsis). Issues storing fat. Talzin yoloed his brain back to sane-adjacent, so mental health is... I mean. Yeah. Triggers. Teeth prone to chipping and cavities (from malnutrition and acid water). Possibly goes to the bathroom once a day and urinates like a race horse. Issues with being touched, myriad phobias, and a squirrelly libido.

Did I miss anything?

Advanced Endocrine Surgery in Madurai: A Gateway to Precision and Health

Endocrine surgery has become a crucial specialty in modern healthcare, tackling a range of hormonal disorders that arise from glandular issues. As health technologies advance, the capabilities of endocrine surgery have transformed, offering patients minimally invasive solutions and more precise treatment methods. For residents of Madurai, Preethi Hospitals stands as a leading center for advanced endocrine surgery, providing expert care tailored to complex hormonal conditions. This blog explores the impact and benefits of advanced endocrine surgery and why it’s vital for effective treatment.

Understanding Endocrine Surgery and Its Purpose

The endocrine system regulates critical bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, and mood, through hormones secreted by various glands. Endocrine surgery primarily focuses on removing or treating abnormalities within these glands, such as the thyroid, adrenal glands, parathyroid glands, and pancreas. Advanced endocrine surgery employs cutting-edge techniques to address these glandular issues, offering greater precision, shorter recovery periods, and less post-operative discomfort for patients.

Common Conditions Treated Through Advanced Endocrine Surgery

Advanced endocrine surgery can treat several conditions, including:

Thyroid DisordersDisorders like thyroid nodules, hyperthyroidism, and thyroid cancer often require surgical intervention when other treatments prove ineffective. Advanced techniques allow surgeons to perform thyroidectomies with minimal incisions, promoting faster recovery and reduced scarring.

Adrenal TumorsThe adrenal glands play a significant role in managing stress, metabolism, and immune response. Abnormalities like adrenal tumors can disrupt these processes, sometimes necessitating surgical removal. Advanced endocrine surgery offers laparoscopic methods for adrenalectomy, allowing for minimally invasive tumor removal.

Parathyroid DiseaseHyperparathyroidism, caused by overactive parathyroid glands, can lead to conditions such as osteoporosis and kidney stones. Minimally invasive parathyroid surgery helps patients find relief from these symptoms with minimal discomfort.

Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs)Pancreatic NETs can affect hormone levels and digestion. Advanced endocrine surgery enables surgeons to precisely target these tumors, preserving surrounding pancreatic tissue and ensuring a higher quality of life post-surgery.

T.S of Thyroid

Comprises of a framework of connective tissue, enclosing numerous rounded thyroid follicles or vesicles of different sizes.

Thyroid is richly supplies with blood vessels and nerves. It is innervated from the sympathetic nerves.

Thyroid secretes thyroxin, which contains an amino acid and 65% iodine.

Thyroxin controls the entire metabolism.

Deficiency of thyroxin causes lowered metabolism.

Hyperthyroxin results in the protrusion of eyeballs.

Removal of thyroid from frog stops metamorphosis.

Thyroid gland is controlled by THS - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone from pituitary.

T.S. of Parathyroid Gland

Two parathyroid glands are always found embedded in the substance of thyroid or found on each side of the thyroid gland.

Each parathyroid is enclosed within a capsule.

Each parathyroid is a glandular organ consisting of columns of epithelial cells.

Parathyroid produces a hormone called parathormone, which is devoid of iodine.

Removal of parathyroid causes tetany or death.

Parathyroid gland develops an epithelial outgrowth from the third and fourth branchial clefts of the embryo.

She pulls vegetation she can reach toward her while sitting on nest.

During egg-laying phase, she lines the nest with grasses, leaves, and twigs from nearby.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pendant or Suspended Nest - Tailor Bird

Tailor birds build pendant nests of completely woven fibers.

“Hyperparathyroidism”, Victor McKusick, Mendelian Inheritance in Man, 1966.

Here I present: “Hyperparathyroidism”, Victor McKusick, Mendelian Inheritance in Man’, 1966. INTRODUCTION. Parathyroid glands are “pea-sized” tissue within the back of the thyroid gland (shown ABOVE). Hyperparathyroidism is an increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in the blood.  This occurs from a disorder either within the parathyroid glands (primary hyperparathyroidism) or as response to…

Single-cell analysis reveals transcriptional dynamics in healthy primary parathyroid tissue [RESEARCH]

Studies on human parathyroids are generally limited to hyperfunctioning glands owing to the difficulty in obtaining normal human tissue. We therefore obtained non-human primate (NHP) parathyroids to provide a suitable alternative for sequencing that would bear a close semblance to human organs. Single-cell #RNA expression analysis of parathyroids from four healthy adult M. mulatta reveals a continuous trajectory of epithelial cell states. Pseudotime analysis based on transcriptomic signatures suggests a progression from GCM2hi progenitors to mature parathyroid hormone (PTH)–expressing epithelial cells with increasing core mitochondrial transcript abundance along pseudotime. We sequenced, as a comparator, four histologically characterized hyperfunctioning human parathyroids with varying oxyphil and chief cell abundance and leveraged advanced computational techniques to highlight similarities and differences from non-human primate parathyroid expression dynamics. Predicted cell–cell communication analysis reveals abundant endothelial cell interactions in the parathyroid cell microenvironment in both human and NHP parathyroid glands. We show abundant RARRES2 transcripts in both human adenoma and normal primate parathyroid cells and use coimmunostaining to reveal high levels of RARRES2 protein (also known as chemerin) in PTH-expressing cells, which could indicate that RARRES2 plays an unrecognized role in parathyroid endocrine function. The data obtained are the first single-cell #RNA transcriptome to characterize nondiseased parathyroid cell signatures and to show a transcriptomic progression of cell states within normal parathyroid glands, which can be used to better understand parathyroid cell biology. http://genome.cshlp.org/cgi/content/short/34/6/837?rss=1&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

Top Parathyroid Adenomas Services in Jayanagar — Dr. Anil Kamath

Understanding Parathyroid Adenomas

Parathyroid adenomas are non-cancerous growths on one or more of the parathyroid glands, which are located in the neck behind the thyroid. These glands produce parathyroid hormone (PTH), which helps regulate calcium levels in the blood. When a parathyroid adenoma is present, it can cause the affected gland to produce excessive PTH, leading to hyperparathyroidism. This condition can result in elevated calcium levels (hypercalcemia) and a range of symptoms, including:

Bone Pain and Weakness: High calcium levels can lead to bone resorption, causing pain and increasing the risk of fractures.

Kidney Stones: Excess calcium in the blood can lead to the formation of kidney stones.

Digestive Issues: Symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain can occur.

Fatigue and Weakness: General feelings of tiredness and muscle weakness are common.

Cognitive Changes: Hypercalcemia can affect mental clarity, leading to confusion and memory issues.

Importance of Timely Treatment

Left untreated, parathyroid adenomas and the resulting hyperparathyroidism can lead to severe complications, including osteoporosis, kidney damage, and cardiovascular issues. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial to prevent these outcomes and restore normal calcium levels in the body.

Modern Healthcare Advancements in Personalised Osteoporosis Treatment

Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by low bone mineral density and deterioration of bone tissue, leading to fragile bones that are more prone to fractures. Several factors can increase the risk of developing osteoporosis, including age, gender, heredity, lifestyle habits, and certain medical conditions. As people get older, bones gradually lose density and strength. Women are at higher risk after menopause due to decrease in estrogen levels. Genetic factors also play an important role - one's risk is higher if a parent or sibling has been diagnosed with osteoporosis. Lack of exercise and vitamin D and calcium deficiency further enhances the risk. Certain medical conditions like hyperthyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, and gastrointestinal disorders can also contribute to bone loss over time. Diagnosis and Assessment of Bone Health Bone mineral density (BMD) tests are commonly used for diagnosing osteoporosis and monitoring treatment effectiveness. BMD tests employ dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) technology to precisely measure bone density at various sites like the hip, spine, wrist, and shoulder. Based on BMD scores compared to average young adult peak bone mass, individuals are classified as having normal bone density, osteopenia (lower than normal bone density), or osteoporosis (density at least 2.5 standard deviations below normal). Fracture risk calculators considering factors like age, gender, weight, smoking status, family history, etc. also help physicians assess 10-year probability of fractures. Lifestyle Modification for Stronger Bones Making healthy lifestyle choices go a long way in managing osteoporosis and preventing fractures. Adequate weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening physical activities like walking, jogging, dancing at least 30 minutes per day stimulate bone formation. Calcium from dietary sources like dairy products, leafy greens, calcium-fortified foods, and calcium supplements is essential for maintaining strong bones. Vitamin D aids calcium absorption and keeping levels sufficient through sun exposure, foods, and supplements. Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol intake are other vital measures. Maintaining a healthy body weight also helps redistribute weight pressures on weight-bearing bones. Pharmacological Options for Osteoporosis Treatment Medications are often prescribed for individuals diagnosed with low bone mass or osteoporosis to inhibit further bone loss and reduce fracture risk. Bisphosphonates like alendronate and risedronate are first-line medications that work by inhibiting bone resorption. They are taken orally on a weekly or monthly schedule. Intravenous bisphosphonates like zoledronic acid are alternatives for those unable to take oral versions. Denosumab administered twice yearly as a subcutaneous injection is another anti-resorptive medication. Teriparatide, a biosynthetic form of parathyroid hormone, stimulates new bone formation and is a treatment option for severe osteoporosis. Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) like raloxifene may help for postmenopausal women. Calcitonin is also utilized as a nasal spray treatment for osteoporosis in certain cases. Close monitoring is important to ensure safety and effectiveness of long-term treatment.
