Abstract
A simple, reproducible extraction method was developed, which is capable of measuring calcitonin in normal [human] individuals. Normal calcitonin levels show a circadian variation, with a peak around midday and respond to known stimuli for calcitonin release.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
