This study was carried out on adult golden hamsters, to correlate the effects of procine calcitonin on serum Ca and P concentrations with changes in osteoclastic resorption of bone. After 1 mo. of treatment with 5 MRC , but it remains possible that it does continue to inactivate these cells. The effect on the bone remodeling sequence could be either due to direct action on the osteoblasts or their precursor cells, or an indirect action via the osteoclasts.
