title: [The effect of single and long-term thyrocalcitonin administration on glucose tolerance and insulin secretion].
abstract: In male rats, i. m. administration of thyrocalcitonin (TCT)--2 and 10 units/kg for 1, 5, 10 and 15 days, reduced calcium level in the blood serum. In the TCT-treated rats the glucose-tolerance curves after i. p. injection of glucose became diabetoid-like. TCT inhibited the increase of insulin-like activity of the serum after glucose injection. The data suggest that TCT, lowering the calcium content of blood serum, inhibited the glucose-induced secretion of insulin.
