  • Title: Prevention of experimental calcinosis by salmon calcitonin in rats.
    Author: Czirfusz A, Kovalcík V, Galbavý S, Drábková E.
    Journal: Endocrinol Exp; 1989 Dec; 23(4):321-6. PubMed ID: 2559839.
    Abstract:
    The effects of salmon calcitonin on calcium overload and its deposition in the rat aorta was studied. Calcitonin administered 4 days to rats i.p. in doses of 10 IU/kg body weight blocked the development of calcinosis induced by a single dose of vitamin D3 (300,000 IU/kg body weight, orally). This was demonstrated biochemically, histochemically and by electron microscopic methods.
