[Serum levels of calcitonin, parathyroid hormone and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol in patients with diabetes mellitus].
Blood serum levels of calcitonin, parathyroid hormone, calcium, magnesium and inorganic phosphate have been measured in basal condition and following intravenous administration of calcium in 31 patients with diabetes of type I, in 31 patients with diabetes of type II and in 29 healthy subjects. The level of 25-hydroxy cholecalciferol was measured in all these patients in basal condition only. It was found that the basal calcitonin level was significantly higher in patients with both types of diabetes than in healthy subjects. The administration of calcium caused a significantly higher increase in the blood calcitonin level in patients with type I diabetes than in those with type II diabetes. It was found in addition that in women with type II diabetes blood serum level of parathyroid hormone was significantly higher than that in men suffering from diabetes of the same type, suggesting the participation of some sex-related factor in the pathogenesis of the abnormal parathyroid level in these patients.
