Abstract
Administration of parenteral and intracerebroventricular calcitonin resulted in supression of stress-induced and spontaneous eating in rats. Calcitonin also reversed calcium chloride-induced eating and reduced 45Ca2+-uptake in a hypothalamic explant system. The mechanism of calcitonin-induced food suppression may be related to an alteration in calcium flux by neuronal tissue.
