In addition to releasing thyroid hormone, the thyroid gland also releases a hormone called calcitonin, which helps to regulate calcium levels in the blood.Calcitonin helps to reduce the calcium levels in the blood, whereas parathyroid hormone helps to increase the blood calcium levels.o when there is an increase in the serum calcium levels, the thyroid gland will release calcitonin to help reduce these levels.
