Another example of antagonistic hormones occurs in the maintenance of Ca 2+ concentration in the blood. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) from the parathyroid glands increases Ca 2+ in the blood by increasing Ca 2+ absorption in the intestines and reabsorption in the kidneys and stimulating Ca 2+ release from bones.

Antagonistic hormones are the hormones of opposite action ...
Calcitonin is involved in helping to regulate levels of calcium and phosphate in the blood, opposing the action of parathyroid hormone. This means that it acts to reduce calcium levels in the blood.
