hi
Parathyroid hormone
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parathyroid_hormone
is the right answer, but anyway
you're the only participant this time, so the whole 100 STEM
will be given to you.
congrats!
just sent you 100 STEM
and
200 TMN
to the address you provided me earlier.

Parathyroid hormone
Parathyroid hormone (PTH), also called parathormone or parathyrin, is a hormone secreted by the parathyroid glands that regulates the serum calcium through its effects on bone, kidney, and intestine.PTH influences bone remodeling, which is an ongoing process in which bone tissue is alternately reabsorbed and rebuilt over time. PTH is secreted in response to low blood serum calcium (Ca2+) levels. PTH indirectly stimulates osteoclast activity within the bone matrix (osteon), in an effort to release more ionic calcium (Ca2+) into the blood to elevate a low serum calcium level. The bones act as a (metaphorical) "bank of calcium" from which the body can make "withdrawals" as needed to keep the amount of calcium in the blood at appropriate levels despite the ever-present challenges of metabolism, stress, and nutritional variations.
Thanks. I always look forward to the contests!
