ABSTRACT
The hypocalcemic response to calcitonin injected in female rats disappeared after their castration. The substitution treatment with estrogens does no allow reestablishment of the hypocalcemic effect obtained in intact animals, a fact that lays stress on the role of the whole ovarian secretion in maintaining a normal response to calcitonin. The response of castrated animals to calcitonin calls attention to the conditional role of estrogens in validating the osteoprotecting effect of calcitonin.
