Abstract:
:Calcitonin secretion is influenced by estrogen. In the present study, basal and calcium-stimulated serum calcitonin levels were reduced in ovariectomized rats, and replacement estrogen administered for 3 weeks increased both calcitonin levels to those in intact rats. Ipriflavone, 7-isopropoxy-3-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one, alone did not influence either calcitonin level. However, ipriflavone and subeffective doses of estrogen administered simultaneously increased both levels; the increase depended upon the dose of ipriflavone. Furthermore, pretreatment with estrone resulted in greater calcitonin release in response to various doses of calcium and pretreatment with estrone and ipriflavone caused an even greater release. These findings indicate that ipriflavone increases the sensitivity of the thyroid gland to estrogen to secrete calcitonin in response to calcium.
