title: [Effect of ovariectomy on circulating calcitonin levels in the rat].
abstract: Ovariectomy in 3 month-old Rats is followed by a fall in plasma CT level and a decreased secretion of CT after a calcium load. These results show that ovarian hormones may play a role in the direct or indirect control of the secretion of CT in the adult female.
