  • Title: Thyrocalcitonin: stimulation of secretion by pentagastrin.
    Author: Cooper CW, Schwesinger WH, Mahgoub AM, Ontjes DA.
    Journal: Science; 1971 Jun 18; 172(3989):1238-40. PubMed ID: 5576157.
    Abstract:
    Administration of a small dose of pentagastrin, a synthetic pentapeptide containing the biologically active portion of the native hormone gastrin, results in a marked, rapid, transitory increase in thyrocalcitonin secretion in the pig. Gastrin or a related gastrointestinal peptide may be important in the physiological secretion of thyrocalcitonin, such as that which occurs when calcium salts are introduced into the gastrointestinal tract.
