Calcitonin alleviates hyperalgesia in osteoporotic rats by modulating serotonin transporter activity
Calcitonin may relieve pain by modulating central serotonin activity. Calcitonin partly reversed the hypersensitivity to pain induced by ovariectomy. This suggests that the anti-nociceptive effects of calciton...
