Parathyroid hormone ( PTH, known as parathormone ) is a small protein that takes part in the control of calcium and phosphate homeostasis, as well as bone physiology.

In addition to estrogen, calcium metabolism plays a significant role in bone turnover, and deficiency of calcium and vitamin D leads to impaired bone deposition; in addition, the parathyroid glands react to low calcium levels by secreting parathyroid hormone ( parathormone, PTH ), which increases bone resorption to ensure sufficient calcium in the blood.
