Parathyroid hormone

Parathyroid hormone is a hormone secreted by the parathyroid glands. 

These hormones release calcium into the blood to raise calcium levels, making bones stronger. Too little of these hormones can result in hypoparathyroidism and too much of it can lead to hyperparathyroidism.Allerheiligen, DA; Schoeber, J; Houston, RE; Mohl, VK; Wildman, KM (15 April 1998).
