The RANK / RANKL / OPG system has been proposed as a potential mediator of bone loss induced by sex steroid deficiency. It is known that the skeletal system is sexually dimorphic, and sex hormones are considered key mediators of skeletal sexual dimorphism. Several studies suggest that a deficiency of sex steroids at a critical time in bone maturation, can irreversibly inhibit the gain pea…
The skeletal system is sexually dimorphic, to being average larger and more robust in men compared to women. Sex hormones are considered key mediators of skeletal sexual dimorphism. Studies suggest that prepuberal androgen deficiency, possibly in early childhood, causes permanent defects in bone mineral density. Results from our laboratory show that disturbances of the hypothalamic-pituit…
