TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Drugs Affecting Metabolism and Bone Mineralization A1 - Ciccone, Charles D. A1 - Bednarek, Melissa L. A1 - Miller, Kenneth L. PY - 2022 T2 - Pharmacology in Rehabilitation, 5e AB - In this chapter, we discuss the function and pharmacological aspects of two important endocrine structures: the thyroid and parathyroid glands. Hormones secreted from the thyroid gland are involved in controlling metabolism; they also work synergistically with other hormones to promote normal growth and development. The parathyroid glands are essential in regulating calcium homeostasis and are important in maintaining proper bone mineralization. SN - PB - F. A.
