After 12 h without food 6 healthy men 21 to 32 years old were given calcitonin 0.5 or 1.0 mu g/kg bodyweight by vein. There was no significant change in free or total tryptophan in plasma during 120 min after calcitonin was given. Urine volume increased from 108 to 278 and 482 ml/2 h after calcitonin 0.5 and 1.0 mu g/kg, respectively. Calcitonin 0.5 mu g/kg decreased insulin from 13.0 to 9.62 mu U/ml but 1.0 mu g/kg had no significant effect.
