|
Thyroid hormone |
Increase basal metabolic rate Increase body temp (calorigenic effect) Stimulate protein synthesis+lipolysis Regulate development+growth of nervous tissue and bones |
|
|
Calcitonin |
Lower blood calcium Inhibits action of osteoclasts Lowers bone resorption Enhances bone calcium uptake |
|
|
Parathyroid |
