Calcitonin and parathyrin are antagonists concerning to the regulation of glucose metabolism

Abstract

Materials about calcium-regulating hormones (calcitonin and parathyrin) effect on carbohydrate regulation are represented. It is showed calcitonin hyperglycemic effect, its contra-insulin effect to insulin. It is ascertained the impairment of glucose metabolism under calcitonin-hyperglycemia, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. It is established the opposite to calcitonin action of parathyrin on glucose metabolism: decreasing the glucose level and increasing glucose tolerance. It is concluded that calcitonin and parathyrin are antagonists not only concerning to the regulation of calcium metabolism, but and glucose.
