Parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates uptake of calcium into the bones (1) (and therefore osteoblast apoptosis (2)) and deportation of calcium from the bones (23), and inhibits excretion of calcium, generally increasing a low blood-calcium level. Low levels of PTH prevent bone loss.
It is released in response to stress; so is often called the âstress hormone.â Its primary functions are to increase blood sugar; suppress an over active immune system; and aid in fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism. It also decreases bone formation, so too much is not good for those with osteoporosis.
