Unilateral Surgery for Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma: Seeking for Clinical Practice Guidelines
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Optimized preoperative diagnostic tools with calcitonin tests, ultrasound features, functional imaging modalities, and genetic testing to detect hereditary forms have led to an increased rate of earlier diagnosis and surgery for medullary thyroid cancer (

Calcitonin and Bone Physiology: In Vitro, In Vivo, and Clinical Investigations
International Journal of Endocrinology, 2020 Calcitonin was discovered as a peptide hormone that was known to reduce the calcium levels in the systemic circulation. This hypocalcemic effect is produced due to multiple reasons such as inhibition of bone resorption or suppression of calcium release ...

Calcitonin and calcitonin receptors: bone and beyond
International Journal of Experimental Pathology, 2000 Calcitonin (CT), a 32 amino acid peptide hormone produced primarily by the thyroid, and its receptor (CTR) are well known for their ability to regulate osteoclast mediated bone resorption and enhance Ca2+ excretion by the kidney. However, recent studies now suggest that CT and CTRs may play an important role in a variety of processes as wide ranging as

Glycosylation reduces the bioactivity of calcitonin [PDF]
, 1989 The biological significance of peptide hormone glycosylation is uncertain. To examine the effect of Asn-linked glycosylation on calcitonin's bioactivity we purified glycosylated calcitonin from a transplantable rat medullary thyroid carcinoma ...
