摘要
Calcitonin is a 32-amino acid polypeptide secreted by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid. Effects on bone include inhibition of osteoclasts, thus preventing bone resorption, as well as increased renal calcium excretion. Salmon calcitonin is often used therapeutically because it is more potent and has a longer duration of action compared with human calcitonin. Calcitonin also possesses analgesic properties. The mechanism of its analgesic effect is unknown but is thought to involve inhibition of prostaglandins and stimulation of β-endorphins.
