abstract：:Salmon calcitonin potently competes for amylin binding sites in rat brain and has amylin-like actions upon glucose metabolism in rat muscle. We report here that [125I]-salmon calcitonin binds to rat hindlimb muscle membranes with high affinity (Kd = 0.47 pM). Binding was inhibited by rat amylin (Ki = 2 nM), rat alpha ...
