[Effect of salmon calcitonin on intestinal absorption of calcium in the eel (Anguilla anguilla L.)]. 1983

M M Chartier, and E Martelly, and E Lopez, and C Milet

Salmon calcitonin (SCT) acted, in eel, on Ca intestinal absorption by modulating Ca flux lumen-plasma (phi Calp) intensity. This response was dependent upon the basal value of the intestinal Ca absorption; a linear relation between the basal phi Calp and its variation after SCT was shown. After Stannius corpuscles removal the lower phi Calp was stimulated by SCT in all cases.

D007408 Intestinal Absorption Uptake of substances through the lining of the INTESTINES. Absorption, Intestinal
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D002116 Calcitonin A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012474 Salmon Fish of the genera ONCORHYNCHUS and Salmo in the family SALMONIDAE. They are anadromous game fish, frequenting the coastal waters of both the North Atlantic and Pacific. They are known for their gameness as a sport fish and for the quality of their flesh as a table fish. (Webster, 3d ed).
