Calcitonin, which is also known as thyrocalcitonin, is a protein hormone that, in humans and other mammals, is mainly secreted by the parafollicular cells (C cells) of the thyroid gland.

An elevated serum calcitonin level is a highly sensitive marker for medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) that can be used for screening, differential diagnosis, prognostic assessment, follow-up ...

Staff reviewers for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said that a potential increased risk of cancer with drugs containing calcitonin salmon appears plausible. In briefing documents released ...

Q. What is salmon calcitonin? Is it made from salmon? It was prescribed for my aunt for her osteoporosis, along with Fosamax. Is salmon calcitonin as worrisome as Fosamax? A. Since 1995 Fosamax (a ...

The current recommended approach to patients with thyroid nodule(s) is to obtain a relevant history and physical examination focusing, for example, on whether there is a history of radiation to ...

Calcitonin gene–related peptide (CGRP) may have a causative role in migraine. We therefore hypothesized that a CGRP-receptor antagonist might be effective in the treatment of migraine attacks.

Miacalcin is a form of calcitonin which is a hormone that we produce in the body. Calcitonin slows down our bone losses so that our own bone building can get caught up and even increase bone density.

It is specifically designed to bind to and activate amylin and calcitonin receptors, both of which play roles in regulating aspects of metabolism, such as appetite. The once-weekly injectable drug ...
