Summary Introduction
To review:
The similarity and the difference between the working of the PTH (parathyroid hormone) and calcitriol.
Introduction:
The parathyroid hormone is an important hormone secreted by the parathyroid glands. The calcitriol is the hormone secreted by the kidneys. Both the PTH and calcitriol play a primary role in the maintenance of the blood calcium levels.
