Recent evidence has shown that the PTH1 receptor is found on human adrenocortical cells, and the mineralocorticoid receptor on the parathyroid glands.(49) NHPT does not appear to be associated with ischemic heart disease, as one study excluded an influence of NHPT on the coronary calcium score, which has been correlated with coronary artery disease.(50) Another recent study showed no improvement in cerebrovascular or neuropsychological function in patients with NHPT after parathyroidectomy.(51). This evidence concerns the gene NR3C2 and coronary artery disorder.
