to evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of provocative tests used for detection of c-cell disease , we have compared the calcitonin ( hct ) responses to calcium ( 3 mg/kg body weight over 10 minutes intravenously ) , pentagastrin ( 0.5 microgram/kg body weight ) , and injection of calcium ( 1.0 mg/kg body weight ) plus pentagastrin ( 0.25 microgram/kg body weight ) over 60 seconds in 13 patients with subsequently proven mct or cch and in 31 normal volunteers .
