Abstract:
:In order to establish the role of calcitonin (CT) in postmenopausal bone loss, we studied CT metabolism in 25 pre- and postmenopausal women. Postmenopausal women presented a highly significant reduction of CT basal levels compared to premenopausal females (p less than 0.01). Also, production rates of CT in osteoporotics were significantly lower than in either young premenopausal (18-25 years old), older premenopausal (35-40 years old), or postmenopausal healthy subjects. In a study in rabbits, we found that injection of CT, along with equimolar amounts of anti-SCT antibodies extracted from serum of pagetic patients, did not inhibit the hypocalcemic response to the hormone, thus demonstrating that resistance to CT treatment cannot be accounted for by antibody production. In a subsequent clinical study in patients with Paget's disease of bone, we found that 200 IU/day of salmon CT (SCT), given by nasal spray, improved both clinically and biochemically the activity of the disease, as demonstrated by 37 +/- 4% decrease of serum alkaline phosphatase and 35 +/- 5% fall of urinary excretion of hydroxyproline after six months of therapy. The effectiveness of CT as nasal spray was further tested in healthy women at an early stage of menopause. A 12-month course of intranasal SCT counteracted early postmenopausal bone loss, presumably by inhibiting bone resorption. In conclusion, intranasal CT seems to be a very attractive alternative to be considered for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
