title: Regulation of calcitonin release from the 6.23 rat C-cell line by cyclic nucleotide analogues and pharmacological mediators.
abstract: Calcitonin release from 6.23 rat medullary thyroid carcinoma C-cells was stimulated by dibutyryl cyclic AMP and inhibited by dibutyryl cyclic GMP in concentration dependent fashion. Histamine, isoproterenol, prostaglandin E2 and Bay K 8644 stimulated calcitonin release, while acetylcholine and serotonin had no significant effect on CT release.
