Calcitonin-testosterone interrelationship. A classic feedback system?

H Mulder. Neth J Med. 1993 Jun.

Abstract

Calcitonin infusion in pharmacological doses reduces the serum concentration of testosterone, LH and FSH, probably by acting at the hypothalamic level. This fact, in combination with the well-known calcitonin stimulating effect of testosterone, suggests that calcitonin and testosterone are possibly acting as a classic negative feedback system.
