ERBB1- and ERBB2-Positive Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Case Report
Diseases, 2018 Medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTCs) are rare thyroid tumors occurring in both sporadic and hereditary forms, whose pathogenesis is related to RET proto-oncogene alterations.

International Journal of Clinical Practice, 1994 SUMMARY Calcitonin, a polypeptide hormone secreted by the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid gland, lowers serum calcium by decreasing bone resorption and tubular calcium reabsorption. An analgesic action, possibly mediated via β‐endorphins, is also evident.

Calcitonin: physiology or fantasy? [PDF]
, 2013 Calcitonin, a potent hypocalcemic hormone produced by the C-cells of the thyroid, was first discovered by Harold Copp in 1962. The physiological significance of calcitonin has been questioned, but recent studies using genetically modified mouse models ...

Gene Transfer of Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Inhibits Macrophages and Inflammatory Mediators in Vein Graft Disease [PDF]
, 2008 Vein graft disease is a chronic inflammatory disease and limits the late results of coronary revascularization. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) inhibits macrophages infiltrated and inflammatory mediators, we hypothesized that transfected CGRP gene

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Previous studies have demonstrated that, in addition to inducing structural changes in thyroid follicles, cadmium (Cd) increased the number of C cells. We examined the effects of myo-inositol (MI), seleno-L-methionine (Se), MI + Se, and resveratrol on C ...

Radioimmunoassay for calcitonin.
Clinical Chemistry, 1982 Calcitonin (CT) is one of the most recently discovered calcium-regulating hormones; the first brief allusion to its existence appeared in 1961.1 The first assays for CT were based on its hypocalcemic property upon injection into rats.2,3 Radioimmunoassays for animal calcitonins soon followed, but the availability of sensitive radioimmunoassays for ...
