This Hormone Stimulates Osteoclastic Activity,causing Bone Resorption

Question

This hormone stimulates osteoclastic activity,causing bone resorption.
A) Calcitonin
B) Androgen
C) PTH
D) Thyroxine

Accepted Answer

PTH, or parathyroid hormone, is known for its role in regulating calcium levels in the body. However, it also stimulates osteoclastic activity, which in turn causes bone resorption. This is a natural process in which bone tissue is broken down and minerals are released into the bloodstream. Prolonged or excessive resorption can lead to weakened bones and conditions like osteoporosis.
