Estimation of calcitonin and calcitonin gene-related peptide-α in bone calcification in quail during laying period by Hadeel M. Hameed, Soulaf J. Kakel

“…In this study, 60 female quails were used, divided into three age groups: the early phase (4 weeks of age), the peak phase (8 weeks of age) and the late phase (12 weeks of age), with 20 birds per group. The outcomes of the study indicate an elevation in the level of calcium and calcitonin during the peak and final period of egg production, followed by a rise in the quantity of gene-related peptide-α during the final period of egg laying, with a strong positive relationship between the level of phosphorus and calcium, as well as between gene-related peptide-α and calcitonin during the peak and final period of egg production. …”
