Effect of Estrogen versus Testosterone on Circulating Osteoprotegerin and Other Cytokine Levels in Normal Elderly Men

Article 2002 EN

Recent studies have shown that estrogen (E) likely plays a dominant role in inhibiting bone resorption in normal elderly men. Because both E and T inhibit osteoclast development and activity, stimulate osteoclast apoptosis, and inhibit osteoblast production of IL-6, it is unclear why T is less potent than E in inhibiting bone resorption in vivo. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) binds to and inactivates RANKL…
