    Abstract

    In this thesis, we researched several aspects of the hormones PTH (parathyroid hormone), FGF23 (fibroblast growth factor 23) and vitamin D. We studied the possibilities and limitations of a new method measuring only non-oxidized (bio-active) PTH in different (clinical) studies. In addition, we studied the relation between the bone-derived FGF23 and glucose metabolism. Lastly, we investigated in randomized controlled trials what the effect of vitamin D supplementation is on its metabolism.
