Calcitonin and Bone Calcium

  • Primary Role: Calcitonin is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that acts to decrease blood calcium levels when they become too high.
  • Effect on Bone Mobilization: Yes, calcitonin directly decreases bone calcium mobilization (bone resorption) by inhibiting the activity of osteoclasts, which are the cells responsible for breaking down bone tissue and releasing calcium into the blood.
  • Biochemical Balance:
  • It works in direct opposition to parathyroid hormone (PTH) and vitamin D, which generally increase calcium mobilization from bones.
  • By suppressing osteoclast activity, calcitonin helps protect the skeletal system from excessive calcium loss during periods of high physiological demand or stress.
