Normal plasma calcitonin: circadian variation and response to stimuli

C J Hillyard et al. Clin Endocrinol (Oxf). 1977 Apr.

Abstract

A simple, reproducible extraction method has been developed, which is capable of measuring calcitonin in normal individuals. Normal calcitonin levels show a circadian variation, with a peak around midday and respond to known stimuli for calcitonin release.
