(wikipedia.org)
  • The full spectrum of calcitonin regulation is not completely understood, but its secretion is primarily regulated by the ionized calcium concentration, with increases in ionized calcium leading to increases in calcitonin, while pharmacological doses of calcitonin reduce serum calcium and phosphate concentrations by inhibiting osteoclastic bone resorption and reducing renal tubular reabsorption.
