What effect does the growth hormone have on blood calcium levels?
Growth hormone increases blood calcium levels.
Growth hormone stimulates the production of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in the liver, which in turn increases the absorption of calcium from the gut and the reabsorption of calcium from the kidneys. This leads to an increase in blood calcium levels.
