in hypercalcemia, ___ is released from the thyroid gland
GPT-4o mini
In hypercalcemia, calcitonin is released from the thyroid gland. Calcitonin helps to lower blood calcium levels by inhibiting osteoclast activity in the bones and promoting calcium excretion by the kidneys. However, it's important to note that calcitonin is not the primary hormone regulating calcium levels, as parathyroid hormone (PTH) from the parathyroid glands plays a more significant role in raising blood calcium levels.
