Introduction

My name is Meghan O'Leary and I'm a fourth year biology major at Memorial University in St. John's, Newfoundland, currently studying and working towards a B.Sc. (honours). This blog has been created as an assignment for my Biology 4605 (Endocrinology) course and will be updated periodically during the semester.

I have chosen to investigate the function, structure and recently published literature on human parathyroid hormone (PTH) as well as the pathology of disorders associated with this hormone.

Below is a picture of bone tissue as a clue to some processes that PTH is involved in.


More information on parathyroid hormone to come!
