DIfferences between men and women Read more Bone turnover in postmenopausal osteoporosis. Effect of calcitonin treatment. To investigate the effectiveness of calcitonin treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis in relation to bone turnover, we examined 53 postmenopausal osteoporotic women before and after one year of therapy with salmon calcitonin (sCT), at the dose of 50 IU every other day. Read more The clinical and metabolic effects of porcine calcitonin on Paget's disease of bone The clinical and metabolic effects of porcine calcitonin were assessed in six patients with Paget's disease and two patients with osteoporosis under metabolic balance conditions. The administration of calcitonin for 4-17 wk resulted in an amelioration of the clinical phenomena associated with Paget's disease, including bone pain, increased skeletal vascularity, congestive heart failure, and neurologic deficits secondary to skeletal impingement. Read more Evidence for an important physiological role for calcitonin We propose that calcitonin, secreted in response to the intake of food, aids in routing calcium, obtained by intestinal absorption, into bone fluid. Here calcium is temporarily stored in combination with phosphate for return to the extracellular fluid (blood) during intervals between oral intakes of calcium. The net result is a conservation of calcium postprandially and a decrease in parathyroid hormone-induced bone destruction during subsequent fasting periods. Read more |
