Abstract
To clarify the controversial renal action of calcitonin (CT) and a possible interrelationship between CT and parathyroid hormone, eight patients with untreated surgical hypoparathyroidism were studied. Various calcitonins, i.e. extracted porcine, synthetic porcine, synthetic human, and synthetic salmon CT in doses of 150 Medical Research Council U or 1.5 mg were infused over a 3 hr period. Subsequently, six of the same subjects received 500 USP U parathyroid extract (PTE) (Eli Lilly & Co., Indianapolis, Ind.) in 3 hr and later a combination of CT and PTE. In addition, two patients were given an infusion of ammonium phosphate with the aim of producting a phosphaturia of comparable degree as seen after CT and PTE, thus differentiating hormonal from nonhormonal influences on cation excretion. A protocol of serial clearance (C) studies using the patients as their own controls was followed. Serum and urinary inorganic phosphate (P), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), potassium (K), and creatinine (Cr) were determined and the clearance values calculated.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
