The thyroid gland regulates the body's metabolism (through T3 and T4) and also affects the metabolism of calcium through the production of calcitonin, which reduces calcium concentration of the blood.

The parathyroid glands, which are located within the thyroid gland, also affect the metabolism of calcium by producing parathyroid hormone PTH, which increases calcium concentration of the blood.
