Talk:Calcitonin

message: While not versed in pharmacology, I do understand a fair amount of physiology.
I had  remove parathyroid tissue to correct an imbalance of calcium (Dr's diagnosis)
and have been told it wasn't the correct tissue that was removed.  Can anyone explain this?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.81.87.73 (talk • contribs)

message: The article states, "It acts to reduce blood calcium (Ca2+), opposing the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH)," and, "In many ways, calcitonin has the counter effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH)."
The article on PTH has pretty good explanations of the processes by which PTH affects serum calcium.  This article on calitonin suggests that calcitonin opposes the effects of PTH.  Does this happen by blocking PTH receptors, or by some other process(es)?
An explanation similar in detail to the parathyroid hormone article, with reference(s) to online medical research or review articles, would be greatly appreciated.

thread_title:  Effects of Calcitonin in Counteracting PTH 

message: That's what the article says:
Inhibits Ca2+ and phosphate reabsorption by the kidney tubules[7]
Though the very references number 7 ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9058369 ) says:
"It is concluded that in man calcitonin like PTH is a renal Ca- and Mg-conserving hormone."
So according to PubMed's most recent researchs even though calcitonin's action is to reduce calcemia, it's effect on the kidney tubules is to actually enhance Ca2+ reabsorption.

replies: text: Must agree with the above.  Numerous current medical texts (Martini and Nath: Anatomy and physiology 2009;  Rhoades and Bell: Medical Physiology 2009) maintain the traditional view that Calcitonin effects an increase in renal Ca++ excretion.  It should be noted that both the Rhoades text, as well as Marieb/Hoehn (Human Anatomy and Physiology 2010) stress that the influence of Calcitonin on Ca++ homeostasis appears to be minor, especially with regard to renal reabsorption.  Wiki article should be revised to reflect scientific consensus and current medical practice, rather than outdated fringe research.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.57.177.106 (talk) 15:54, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Calcitonin effects on Calcium reabsorption by the kidney tubules 

message: Sorry if this isn't the place for formatting issues.  This page is horribly broken in print at the moment.  Something in the image/chemical data box in the right column blows up two pages of printing.  I'd fix it if I knew anything about Wikipedia printing formats.  It appears fine for display, just broken in print.
