[The effects of diet on the secretion of calcitonin in the newborn infant].

Determinations of serum calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and calcitonin (CT) were carried out in two groups of full term newborn infants: 80 on bottle feeding (group A) and 80 breast feeding (group B). Samples of blood were drawn at 1, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 168 hours of life. Each newborn was tested no more than twice. No differences between the two groups could be detected before the 72th hour. At that time, the Ca of group A was significantly lower than Ca of group B while the CT and P were significantly higher in the same group A. So that, the P serum level appears to be one of the most important factor regulating the homeostasis of Ca after the first 72 hours of life.

[Serum calcitonin in full-term infants].

Determination of calcium (Ca) calcitonin (CT) secretion in mother during labour and their newborns during the first hours of life was carried out. Mean serum levels of Ca decreased after the birth. Mean serum level of Ct was higher in the cord blood comparing with mothers blood. These levels increased after the 6th hour and reached the peak at the 12nd hour. After the 24th hour the CT levels decreased significantly although at the 48th hour they remained higher than those in the cord blood.
