Abstract
The effect of salmon calcitonin (SCT) on acute inflammation was tested in carrageenan induced foot oedema of the rat. A considerable inhibition of the oedema was obtained with 20 MRC U/kg of SCT. The injection of SCT is followed by decrease of calcemia. A hypothesis of possible inhibition of prostaglandin (PG) synthesis and/or release, caused by decrease of calcemia, is advanced.Keywords
