What are some problems that elderly people might have as a result of decreasing hormone production?
They have a decrease in Vitamin D which inhibits the absorption of calcium in their bones which in turn leads to bone loss or osteoporosis.
The major hormone that decreases blood calcium levels is produced in the?
Calcitonin is a hormone produced by the thyroid . This is the major hormone that acts to decrease blood calcium levels.
What research has been done on calcium and osteoporosis?
a study conducted in 1999 concluded that a low-dose hormone replacement therapy (HRT) combined with calcium and vitamin D supple-mentation is an effective therapeutic option for prevention of osteoporosis.
What is hormone prolacatin?
Hormone prolactin is produced by Interior pituitary.It stimulates production of milk.
What hormone is released when a surplus of calcium is detected in the blood?
The hormone Calcitonin made from the thyroid gland stimulates the production of osteoblasts to deposit calcium in the bones, lowering the calcium ion levels in the bloodstream.
Does increased thyroid hormone production increase or decrease TSH production?
Increase in thyroid hormone will lower TSH production, because there is a feedback loop between TSH that stimulates the production of thyroid hormone and the hormone that then will then regulate the stimulation of TSH so that thyroid hormone is not over produced.
How can osteoporosis be treated?
traditionally been treated with calcium and vitamin D supplements, weight-bearing exercise, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
What hormone regulates blood calcium levels?

When blood calcium levels begin to drop below homeostatic levels this is released causing calcium to be released from bones?
The hormone called as parathyroid hormone or parathormone. This hormone is secreted by parathyroid glands.
What stimulates the production of thyroxin?
Low blood calcium levels stimulate the parathyroid gland to produce parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH stimulates the osteoclasts to break down the bone matrix releasing the trapped calcium thereby raising blood calcium levels.
