Salmon calcitonin (sCT) [1] is the type of calcitonin hormone found in salmon. [ 2 ] Similar to humans, salmon calcitonin is a peptide hormone produced in the ultimobranchial region by parafollicular cells in response to hypercalcemia and lowers blood calcium and phosphate by promoting renal excretion.
Hereditary sensory neuropathy type 1 is a condition characterized by nerve abnormalities in the legs and feet (peripheral neuropathy). Many people with this condition have tingling, weakness, and a reduced ability to feel pain and sense hot and cold.
Neuropathic arthropathy (also known as Charcot neuroarthropathy or diabetic arthropathy) refers to a progressive fragmentation of bones and joints in the presence of neuropathy.

Patients can also have high arched feet, hammer toes, foot drop, foot deformities, and scoliosis. These symptoms are a result of severe muscular weakness and atrophy.
Calcitonin has clinically been used for metabolic bone disorders for more than 50 years. [25] Salmon calcitonin is used for the treatment of: Postmenopausal osteoporosis [26] Hypercalcaemia [27] Bone metastases [28] Paget's disease [29] Phantom limb pain [30] It has been investigated as a possible non-operative treatment for spinal stenosis.

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a member of the calcitonin family of peptides consisting of calcitonin, amylin, adrenomedullin, adrenomedullin 2 and calcitonin‑receptor‑stimulating peptide. Calcitonin is mainly produced by thyroid C cells whilst CGRP is secreted and stored in the nervous system. [1]
