What is "parathyroid hormone"?
Parathyroid hormone is a hormone secreted by the parathyroid glands that plays a crucial role in regulating calcium and phosphate levels in the body. It increases calcium levels in the blood by promoting its release from bones and enhancing its absorption from the intestines and kidneys. This hormone also inhibits phosphate reabsorption in the kidneys, thus helping to maintain the balance of these essential minerals in the body.
