Calcitonin is a hormone known to participate in calcium and phosphorus metabolism. In mammals, the major source of calcitonin is from the parafollicular or C cells in the thyroid gland, but it is also synthesized in a wide variety of other tissues, including the lung and intestinal tract.

Control of Parathyroid Hormone Secretion Parathyroid hormone is released in response to low extracellular concentrations of free calcium. Changes in blood phosphate concentration can be associated with changes in parathyroid hormone secretion, but this appears to be an indirect effect Calcitonin Introduction and Index...

Calcium homeostasis is under the primary control of parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcitonin (CT), and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D]. The few previous studies of the role of these hormones in calcium appetite have not been concerted (reviewed below;
