Calcium levels in the blood and tissues are regulated by calcitonin working with the hormone?

Calcitonin works with the hormone parathyroid hormone (PTH) to regulate calcium levels in the blood and tissues. Calcitonin helps reduce blood calcium levels by inhibiting bone breakdown and promoting calcium excretion by the kidneys. PTH, on the other hand, works to increase blood calcium levels by stimulating bone breakdown and enhancing calcium reabsorption by the kidneys.


What directly antagonizes the effect of calcitonin?
