pubmed-article:132237 | pubmed:abstractText | In young calves receiving intraveinously a small dose of calcium to stimulate calcitonin release, intraveinous infusion of somatostatin did not significantly modify the jugular veinous plasma calcitonin levels measured by radioimmunoassay, using a porcine system which cross-reacts with bovine calcitonin. In piglets, intraveinous infusion of somatostatin also did not change the jugular veinous plasma calcitonin concentration. | lld:pubmed |
