Which of the following are not the effects of Parathyroid hormone? (a) Stimulates the process of bone resorption(b) Decreases Ca²⁺ level in blood(c) Reabsorption of Ca²⁺ by renal tubules(d) Decreases the absorption of Ca²⁺ from digested food(e) Increases metabolism of carbohydratesChoose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
To solve this problem, we need to identify which effects are not associated with Parathyroid hormone (PTH). Let's analyze each option:(a) Stimulates the process of bone resorption: - PTH increases bone resorption, releasing calcium into the blood. - This is an effect of PTH.(b) Decreases Ca²⁺ level in blood: - PTH actually increases the calcium level in the blood by stimulating bone resorption and increasing renal reabsorption of calcium. - This is not an effect of PTH.(c) Reabsorption of Ca²⁺ by renal tubules: - PTH promotes the reabsorption of calcium in the kidneys, reducing its excretion. - This is an effect of PTH.(d) Decreases the absorption of Ca²⁺ from digested food: - PTH increases the absorption of calcium from the intestine indirectly by stimulating the production of active vitamin D. - This is not an effect of PTH.(e) Increases metabolism of carbohydrates: - PTH primarily regulates calcium and phosphate metabolism, not carbohydrate metabolism. - This is not an effect of PTH.Now, let's identify the options that are not effects of PTH:(b) Decreases Ca²⁺ level in blood, (d) Decreases the absorption of Ca²⁺ from digested food, and (e) Increases metabolism of carbohydrates are not effects of PTH.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2: (b), (d), and (e) only.
