The hormone calcitonin is controlled by a negative feedback mechanism because it's release leads to the decrease of calcium blood levels.

<h3>What is negative feedback mechanism?</h3>

A negative feedback mechanism is the defined as a type of regulatory mechanism in the body where by the increased output of a system leads to a decrease of another system.
