Calcitonin, eel - Risk and Safety
Calcitonin, eel - Introduction
Calcitonin (Calcitonin) is a peptide hormone produced by thyroid C cells. It is mainly used to regulate the level of calcium ions in the body, inhibit the release of calcium in the bones, thereby reducing the blood calcium concentration.
For eel (eel), it is an aquatic animal with the following properties:
1. Eel belongs to vertebrates, the body is long and slender shape.
2. Its skin is slimy and covered with mucus, which helps to move in water.
3. Eel has an electric induction organ, which can sense the weak electric field in the surrounding environment.
The use of Calcitonin:
1. For the treatment of osteoporosis: Calcitonin can slow down the rate of bone loss by inhibiting the activity of bone resorption cells in the bone, and increase bone density to a certain extent.
2. For the treatment of hypercalcemia: Calcitonin can inhibit the release of calcium ions in the body, reduce the release of calcium in the bones into the blood, thereby reducing the blood calcium concentration.
3. For the treatment of hyperparathyroidism: Calcitonin can inhibit parathyroid secretion of parathyroid hormone, thereby regulating the level of calcium ions in the body.
The preparation method of Calcitonin can be obtained by artificial synthesis, or extracted and purified from the thyroid gland of animals (such as pigs and cattle).
Regarding the safety information of Calcitonin, long-term use of higher doses of Calcitonin may cause some side effects, such as facial flushing, headache, nausea and vomiting. For specific patients, such as pregnant women, lactating women and the presence of other diseases, should be used with caution. It is recommended to use Calcitonin under the guidance of a professional doctor and follow its accurate usage and precautions.
