title: [Stimulation of calcitonin secretion in the fasting newborn rat by ingestion of triglycerides].
abstract: The stomach gavage of fat (triglycerides) in the fasting newborn Rat induced a marked increase in the plasma concentration of immunoreactive calcitonin after 30 and 60 mn. Calcium chloride given by the same route at the dose of 20 mg calcium per kg body weight had a poor effect on calcitonin secretion. This stimulation was probably mediated through some gastro-intestinal hormone that has to be uncovered.
