Several reports demonstrate unexplained consequences of mutations on the expression of the different dystrophin isoforms and their balance. The most prominent example is found in some cases of X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy (XLDC).
In particular, calcitonin has the ability to decrease blood calcium levels at least in part by effects on two well-studied target organs: 1  Bone: Calcitonin suppresses resorption of bone by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts, a cell type that digests bone matrix, releasing calcium and phosphorus into blood.
Calcitonin is a hormone that is produced and released by the C-cells of the thyroid gland. Its biological function in humans is unclear. Alternative names for calcitonin CT; thyrocalcitonin.he secretion of calcitonin is also inhibited by the hormone somatostatin which is also released by the C-cells in the thyroid gland. What happens if I have too much calcitonin? There does not seem to be any effect on the body as a result of having too much calcitonin.
