Mark Saltzman, Christopher K. Breuer ([cor]) Keywords: parathyroid hormone (PTH); microspheres; drug delivery; negative feedback Abstract: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) replacement has been demonstrated to be superior to conventional treatment with calcium supplementation and vitamin D analogs for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism. In this investigation we evaluated the feasibility of using PTH microsphere encapsulation as a potential delivery system for PTH.
