What are circulating hormones?
Circulating hormones emanate from the endocrine ( or ductless ) glands. These glands, embedded deep within our bodies, pour their secretions of functional substances (hormones) out of their locale into capillaries that return them - via the general circulation - to the heart and onward to their destination.
Most of these are : pineal gland, the hypophysis, thyroid and parathyroid glands, pancreatic islets and the suprarenal glands (adrenal) , and there are two types of secretions from gonads as well.

Hormones are a kind of biochemical messengers. Most hormones are chemical substances produced by specialized tissue formations called endocrine glands. The substances are secreted directly into the bloodstream, other body fluids, or into adjacent tissues. The purpose of hormones is to regulate metabolic activity of some other organs or tissues of the body.
Three different ways hormones act:
1. Alter the rate of synthesis of your cellular protein.
2. Change the rate of enzyme activity.
3. Change the rate of transport of nutrients through the cell wall.

What hormone increases blood calcium hormones?
If you are looking for the one hormone that does this, then the answer is parathyroid hormone (PTH), produced in the parathyroid glands.
A more technical description is given below:
Three hormones act in the body to increase blood calcium levels to normal. These hormones are 1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and calcitonin that originate respectively from the liver and kidneys, parathyroid glands, and thyroid glands. The first, 1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol (active vitamin D3), serves to increase calcium absorption from the intestine. The second, PTH, dissolves bone into the blood. The third, calcitonin, prevents the bone-derived calcium from being resorbed ("reabsorbed") into the bone from which it came via PTH. To summarize, these three hormones act in concert to raise calcium levels via external and internal routes.

What hormones is only used by males?
Testosterone is vital to a man’s health. Men have estrogen too, it’s just in much smaller quantities than women, so it plays less of a role. Estrogen levels rise in men around middle age as more testosterone is converted to estrogen, so that they experience more of the estrogen-like effects such as being more emotional (‘softer’ emotionally and physically).
