Abstract excerpt
There is general agreement that calcitonin (CT) inhibits bone resorption by its effects on osteoclast function. CT was also found to have direct effects on osteoblast-like cells. In this study, we investigated the expression of CT and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), the two peptides encod...
