Absorption of intranasal salmon calcitonin in normal subjects and hypogonadic men

Calcified Tissue International volume 46, pages 130–132 (1990)Cite this article

Summary

The absorption kinetics of intranasal salmon calcitonin were assessed in 4 normal subjects and 9 patients with Klinefelter's syndrome. After administration, absorption occurred within 5 minutes. There was a highly significant correlation between the amount administered and the amount absorbed (r=−0.83,P<0.0005).
