Intranasalt calcitonin giver klinisk relevant biologisk respons hos mennesker, vist ved øgning i urinudskillelsen af calcium, fosfor og natrium (ved at reducere den tubulære genoptagelse) og reduktion i urinudskillelsen af hydroxyprolin.
Intranasal calcitonin produces a clinically relevant biological response in humans as shown by an increase in the urinary excretion of calcium, phosphorus, and sodium (by reducing their tubular re- uptake) and a decrease in the urinary excretion of hydroxyproline.
