Usage Information
Abstract
Reports from several laboratories, showing extensive hepatic extraction of circulating parathyroid hormone, led us to examine the effect of near-total hepatectomy on the metabolism of the hormone to circulating fragments, and on its clearance from plasma. The rate of disappearance of 125I-labeled and unlabeled bovine parathyroid hormone from plasma, and the appearance, disappearance, and chemical and immunochemical characteristics of circulating fragments were examined by gel filtration and either sequence-specific radioimmunoassays or sequence analysis using the Edman reaction. Results from awake rats subjected to near-total hepatectomy were compared with those found in sham-treated, nephrectomized, and short-term uremic rats (studied 2 d after nephrectomy). When compared with the sham-treated group, all other groups clear 125I-labeled hormone more slowly; after hepatectomy, however, the clearance rate is most strikingly decreased.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
