Age-Related Association of Calcitonin with Parameters of Anthropometry, Bone and Calcium Metabolism during Childhood

Abstract: <b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The thyroid parafollicular hormone calcitonin (CT) shows particularly high blood levels in early childhood, a period of high bone turnover, which decrease with increasing age. Data about the physiological role of CT during infancy, childhood, and adolescence are contradictory or lacking. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> We hypothesize that CT demonstrates age-related correlations with parameters of bone growth and turnover as well as with para… Show more

“…In this study, serum calcium levels tended to be stable and there was no significant correlation with 25(OH)D levels, which was consistent with most survey results. 31 Considering that human serum calcium levels play an important role in the body, such as in the activity of nerves and muscles, blood calcium should be maintained at a stable concentration. Although serum calcium is positively correlated with bone mineral density, it does not directly reflect calcium deficiency and bone abnormality.…”

“…In summary, the blood vessels in the thyroid play a vital role in supporting the thyroid gland's function, ensuring the proper distribution and production of thyroid hormones. To a lesser extent, the parafollicular C cells produce calcitonin, which, together with the parathyroid hormone produced in the parathyroid, acts on calcium metabolism [30][31][32]. The main functional part of this gland is the thyroid follicle, which is widely distributed along the thyroid and is supported by loose connective tissue.…”

“…The thyroid tissue is composed of several follicles and a large amount of blood vessels, responsible for the distribution of hormones to the body. To a lesser extent, the parafollicular C cells produce calcitonin, which, together with the parathyroid hormone produced in the parathyroid, acts on calcium metabolism 30,31,32 . The main functional part of this gland is the thyroid follicle, which is widely distributed along the thyroid and is supported by loose connective tissue.…”
