Parathyroid Hormone:

  1. Parathyroid hormone, also known as parathormone or parathyrin, is a protein hormone released by the parathyroid hormone that maintains serum calcium concentration levels via behavior on bone, kidney, and intestine.
  2. Calcitonin, also renowned as thyrocalcitonin (TCT), is an antagonist of parathyroid hormone (PTH).
  3. PTH helps stimulate Ca2+ concentration through demineralization, whilst thyrocalcitonin hinders bone cell breakdown.
  4. They are essential to preserving calcium homeostasis.
