To further explore CT secretory physiology, we have studied basal and calcium-stimulated plasma immunoreactive CT (iCT) and silica-extractable monomeric CT concentrations in 148 healthy volunteers and 33 patients with a history of thyroid damage (total or subtotal thyroidectomy, radioiodine treatment for thyrotoxicosis). Both whole-plasma iCT and extractable CT levels were lower basally and after calcium infusion in women than in men, basal levels being reduced about 50% and calcium-stimulated values about 75% from those of male subjects. There were no significant changes in basal iCT or extractable CT concentrations with age, and CT secretory capacity (CT response to calcium infusion) likewise did not change with age. Infusion of monomeric CT to constant concentration in 27 persons permitted estimates of CT metabolic clearance rates (MCRs) and secretion rates (SRs). Calculated MCRs of about 9 ml\/min \u00b7 kg\u22121 (persons aged 21\u201330 yr) and 6 ml\/min \u00b7 kg\u22121 (persons aged 54\u201370 yr) were in good agreement with published data, and did not differ between the sexes. SRs were dependent upon the assay method used to estimate basal plasma CT concentrations, being highest when whole-plasma iCT values were used. Based on estimates of plasma monomeric CT from the silica extraction procedure, the SR of CT was 59 \u00b1 6 (SE) ng\/d \u00b7 kg\u22121 in men, and 22 \u00b1 3 ng\/d \u00b7 kg\u22121 in women. Thyroid damage reduced, but did not abolish, apparent CT immunoreactivity, even in silica extracts of plasma. However, all subsets of thyroiddamaged patients had absent-to-markedly-impaired CT secretion in response to calcium infusion. We conclude that CT secretion is substantially lower both basally and after stimulation in women than in men, and that this difference in CT immunoreactivity probably reflects differences in circulating CT bioactivity. The sex difference in plasma CT concentrations probably results from lower rates of CT secretion in women, not increased MCR. There is no age-related decrease of plasma CT concentrations (or CT secretory reserve), calling into question the concept that a progressive deficiency of CT is partly resonsible for age-related (\u201csenile\u201d) osteoporosis. Surgical or radiation damage to the thyroid gland commonly abolishes C-cell response to calcium; such CT-deficient patients form a population suitable for determining whether or not reduced CT secretion can impair skeletal homeostasis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jbmr.5650010407","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,2,3]],"date-time":"2010-02-03T18:26:52Z","timestamp":1265221612000},"page":"339-349","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":53,"title":["Secretion and metabolism of monomeric human calcitonin: Effects of age, sex, and thyroid damage"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"1","author":[{"given":"Robert D.","family":"Tiegs","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Endocrine Research Unit, Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Department of Medicine, Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation, Rochester, MN"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean Jacques","family":"Body","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Jules Bordet, Centre Des Tumeurs de L'Universit\u00e9 Libre de Bruxelles, Rue Heger-Bordet 1, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgium"},{"name":"Endocrine Research Unit, Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Department of Medicine, Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation, Rochester, MN"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joyce M.","family":"Barta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Endocrine Research Unit, Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Department of Medicine, Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation, Rochester, MN"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"III","given":"Hunter","family":"Dr. Heath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Endocrine Research Unit, Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Department of Medicine, Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation, Rochester, MN"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1986,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024012712014597400_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"269","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM198101293040505","article-title":"Medical progress.
