      Name at least two hormones which result in fluctuation of  level.

    Answer:

                      Parathyroid hormone and calcitonin results in the fluctuation of level. Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) increases the levels in the blood. PTH acts on the bones and stimulates the process of bone reabsorption (dissolution/demineralisation). PTH also stimulates reabsorption of by the renal tubules and increases absorption from the digested food. Calcitonin is a 32-amino acid linear polypeptide hormone, that is produced in humans primarily by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid. It acts by reducing blood calcium levels opposing the effect of Parathyroid Hormone (PTH).
