Abstract

The skeleton is the target organ of calcitonin (CT). CT inhibits bone resorption and promotes the deposit of calcium and phosphorous into bone. The treatment of various diseases with CT was observed to be effective only in Paget’s disease of bone. The effect of calcitonin in human bone physiology is still under investigation.
