They’re not kidneys, but these structures are systematically associated with a sclero·choroidal condition that presents with multiple, ill-defined yellow placoid lesions. Adenomas in these structures can be detected by a sestamibi scan, which localizes Tc99 to their oxy·phil cells. These structures are the most likely cause (-5[1])of a condition whose symptoms are described as “stones, bones, (-5[1])groans…and (-5[2])psychiatric overtones.” These structures release a compound that inhibits (-5[1])OPG synthesis, (-5[1])thereby elevating (*) RANKL levels. These structures (-5[2])release (-5[1])a compound (-5[1])that upregulates alpha-1-hydroxylase, which promotes phosphate reabsorption by (-5[1])catalyzing the activation (-5[1])of Vitamin D. (-5[1])It’s not the stomach, (10[1])but chief (-5[1])cells in these (10[1])glands (-5[1])release a compound (-5[1])that counterintuitively (10[1])stimulates (-5[1])osteoblasts (10[1])to activate (-5[1])osteoclasts and break down bone. For 10 points, calcitonin (0[1])is opposed (-5[1])by a calcium-elevating (10[1]-5[1])hormone (10[1])released by what glands (10[1]-5[3])located adjacent to the thyroid? (10[2]0[2]) (10[10]0[18])■END■
