In an investigation of the possible role of calcitonin in the metabolism of glycosaminoglycans it was found that the hormone increased the rate of disappearance from serum of [35S]sulphate injected into rats. No excessive deposition of radioactive sulphate was found in bone, kidney, liver or ventricular myocardium of calcitonin-treated rats.
Calcitonin also rapidly lowered serum inorganic sulphate levels. Both effects were prevented by previous nephrectomy, leading to the conclusion that calcitonin acts on the kidney to promote the excretion of inorganic sulphate.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
