Calcium-Regulating Hormones

Vitamin D and Parathyroid Hormone

  • Chapter
Book cover Endocrinology

Abstract

This chapter will describe the structure and actions of vitamin D, which is essential for maintaining a positive calcium balance and skeletal integrity, and the parathyroid hormone (PTH) responsible for minute-to-minute maintenance of calcium homeostasis, which is critical for neuromuscular activity.
