I was under the impression calcitonin increased Ca and PTH decreased it, but my review book is exactly the opposite. Can someone verify that calcitonin decreases Ca while PTH increases it?
Calcitonin decreases the blood calcium level whereas PTH increases it.
They are both correctNope Calcitonin reduces Ca2+ concentrations, PTH will increase it

i love how everybody pretty much said the same thing in their reply to this thread <i'm guilty too>! As if more people saying the correct answer made it MORE accurate. Almost as if its correct by general consensus.
