Abstract
The characteristics of the disappearance of radioiodinated synthetic human calcitonin from plasma have been studied in man. After single injection the disappearance curve was multiexponential. The number of exponentials of the theoretical curve fitting the best with the experimental data varied individually. Metabolic clearance rate was determined both from single injection and constant infusion studies, and fast initial distribution volume from the former. Metabolic clearance rate values in normal man calculated from constant infusion studies were 82.3 ±3.4 ml/min per m2. Values derived from single injection studies were similar, 77.0 ±4.7 ml/min per m2. These results were compared to those obtained in end stage, renal failure patients. Metabolic clearance rate was considerably lower and volume of fast initial distribution slightly larger in that group. This fact emphasizes the important role of kidneys in the utilization and/or the degradation of human calcitonin.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
