2025年1月7日 · Calcitonin is a hormone your thyroid releases to help regulate calcium levels in your blood by decreasing it. Abnormal calcitonin levels cause few or no symptoms.

Calcitonin is a 32 amino acid peptide hormone secreted by parafollicular cells (also known as C cells) of the thyroid (or endostyle) in humans and other chordates [5] in the ultimopharyngeal body. [6]

2023年8月17日 · Calcitonin is a peptide hormone consisting of 32 amino acids, primarily synthesized by the parafollicular cells (C cells) of the human thyroid gland. The hormone exists in different forms, including salmon calcitonin, human calcitonin, and synthetic analog.

2023年8月31日 · Easy-to-read patient tips for calcitonin covering how it works, benefits, risks, and best practices.

Calcitonin injections treat osteoporosis, Paget’s disease of the bone and other bone conditions. Calcitonin is a hormone that prevents your bones from breaking down and increases bone thickness (density).

2023年11月15日 · Calcitonin is a medication that doctors may prescribe to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis. It helps slow the loss of bone density and increase bone mass. However, it can also cause side...

Calcitonin injection is used to treat Paget's disease of the bone. It may also be used to prevent bone loss in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis and to treat hypercalcemia (too much calcium in the blood).

Calcitonin is a hormone secreted by the C-cells of the thyroid gland in response to elevations of the plasma calcium level. It reduces bone resorption by inhibiting mature active osteoclasts and increases renal calcium excretion.

Calcitonin, a protein hormone synthesized and secreted in humans and other mammals primarily by parafollicular cells (C cells) in the thyroid gland. The overall effect of calcitonin is to lower the concentration of calcium in the blood when it rises above the normal value.

Calcitonin (thyrocalcitonin) is a hormone produced by C cells in the thyroid gland. The main action of calcitonin is on the bone. It increases deposition of calcium and phosphate in the bone and lowers levels in the blood, so effectively it inhibits calcium resorption by binding to a specific receptor on the osteoclasts, and inhibits their action.
