Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)
High levels increase bone resorption, potentially leading to lower bone density
Vitamin D Hormone (Calcitriol)
Promotes calcium absorption and bone mineralization, contributing to bone density maintenance
Testosterone
Increases bone density by stimulating bone formation
Estrogen
Reduces bone resorption and slows rate of bone loss
Prolactin
High levels can lead to reduced sex hormone levels, contributing to decreased bone density
Cortisol
High levels lead to increased bone resorption and decreased bone formation, raising osteoporosis risk
Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1)
Promotes bone growth and formation, contributing to higher bone mass
Calcitonin
Decreases bone resorption, which can help to maintain bone density
Growth Hormone (GH)
Stimulates bone growth and increases bone density
Thyroid Hormones (T3 and T4)
Excess levels can increase bone resorption, leading to lower bone density
