Calcitonin is a peptide hormone that is secreted by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland in response to low blood calcium levels. It increases the level of calcium in the blood by stimulating bone resorption, which decreases the concentration of calcium in the blood. Calcitonin has been shown to reduce myocardial infarct size and improve heart function after an infarct. Calcitonin eel is a synthetic analog of calcitonin with similar biological properties as natural calcitonin. The difference between calcitonin and calcitonin eel is that calcitonin eel does not contain any sodium salts.
