Which of the following hormones regulates blood calcium levels?

A. Parathyroid hormone

B. Growth hormone

C. Norepinephrine

D. Melatonin

Answer Explanation:

The parathyroid hormone (PTH) from the parathyroid glands is important in serum calcium regulation. It increases blood calcium levels by stimulating osteoclasts to break down bone and release calcium into the bloodstream. PTH also enhances the absorption of calcium from the intestines and the kidneys.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.
