Did you mean Parathyroid Hormone?

Glossary Parathyroid Hormone

regulates blood calcium levels by acting on bones, kidneys, and intestines

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH), also known as parathormone or parathyrin, is a hormone produced by the parathyroid glands, which are small glands located behind the thyroid in the neck. PTH plays a crucial role in regulating calcium levels in the blood by increasing calcium absorption in the intestines, releasing calcium from bones, and conserving calcium in the kidneys. This hormone is essential for maintaining bone health and proper functioning of the nervous and muscular systems.
