Calcitonin secretion during the estrous cycle of the rat
Abstract:
Plasma levels of calcitonin (CT), parathyroid hormone (PTH), and estradiol (E2) were measured in the rat during the estrous cycle. Changes in the circulating levels of CT were observed, in particular a significant fall during estrus. No significant changes in PTH levels were recorded using a N terminal assay. E2 levels were not correlated with CT or PTH levels.
