FAQ
What triggers the production of calcitonin?
The thyroid responds to the changing calcium levels in the blood. When there's a surplus of calcium present, it responds by releasing higher amounts of calcitonin - conversely decreasing its output when the calcium is depleted.
What occurs when calcitonin levels are very low?
Inadequate calcitonin doesn't really appear to have any clinical consequences for health. There aren't any negative symptoms or signs in individuals who have had their thyroid gland excised, and whose blood calcitonin concentrations are undetectable.
