The hypocalcasmia seen after thyroid surgery is almost certainly caused by several factors. These experiments were designed to demonstrate the patterns of postoperative hypocalcemia seen due to endogenous calcitonin release, and partial and complete parathyroidectomy. The rat with autotransplanted parathyroid glands was used as the experimental model
