title: Effect of calcitonin on free and total plasma tryptophan in human.
abstract: The injection of calcitonin (0.5 or 1 microgram/Kg wt.) did not affect free and total tryptophan plasma levels in six healthy human subjects. Calcitonin besides a significant diuresis produced a slight hypoinsulinemia parallelled by a slight hyperglycemia.
