Parathormone, also called parathyroid hormone, substance produced and secreted by the parathyroid glands that regulates serum calcium concentration. Under the microscope the parathormone-producing cells, called chief cells, isolated from the parathyroid glands, occur in sheets interspersed with areas of fatty tissue. Occasionally the cells are arranged in follicles similar to but smaller than those present in the thyroid gland.
